Kuredu Express

Lhaviyani Atoll · Maldives

Kuredu Express is a thrilling high-speed drift dive through a narrow channel in northern Lhaviyani where surging currents carry divers past walls encrusted with colourful tunicates, sea fans, and sponges. Napoleon wrasse, dogtooth tuna, and occasional hammerhead sharks appear suddenly from the blue as divers rocket through the channel. The dive demands good buoyancy control but rewards with some of the most adrenaline-charged marine wildlife encounters in the atoll.
