Kooddoo Kandu
Channel beside Kooddoo island in northern Huvadhoo, known locally as a shark site. Divers enter on the north or south side of the pass and ride the current; grey reef sharks gather where the flow concentrates, and turtles and rays use the southern reef. Visitors also report a feeding spot where tuna heads are thrown in, drawing sharks and napoleon wrasse – visibility there can be poor.
