About this dive site

This dive site, Viligili Corner, is renowned for its thrilling drift diving experiences, particularly during the southwest monsoon when strong currents enhance marine life encounters. Navigation typically involves riding the current along the reef corner, making it a dynamic and engaging dive. There is no specific history or story provided for this dive site beyond its natural features. Divers can expect a rich display of marine megafauna, including regular sightings of gray reef and white tip sharks near the coral rocks at 25 meters. The site is also frequented by stingrays, eagle rays, and impressive napoleons. Smaller inhabitants like moray eels and their cleaner shrimp add to the biodiversity. The best time to visit Viligili Corner is during the southwest monsoon, as the strong currents during this period attract larger pelagic species and offer the best chances for shark encounters. Due to the powerful currents and depth, this site is best suited for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving. Freediving is not generally recommended due to the strong currents and the primary attractions being deeper.
