About this site
Medhu Kandu is a channel dive site in Vaavu Atoll, part of the Felidhu Atoll group in the central Maldives. Kandu sites like this one cut through the atoll rim connecting the inner lagoon to the open ocean, and Vaavu Atoll is generally reached by boat from Male or from resorts and liveaboards operating in the central atolls. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres, and divers have reported eagle rays and hammerhead sharks passing through the channel.
