About this site
Kuredu Express is a long drift dive in a Protected Marine Area in the Maldives, covering a steep outside reef with colourful overhangs. On the eastern corner, between 10 and 22 metres, the reef steps down in terraces and overhangs, and the ceiling of the overhangs at 18 metres is covered with soft coral.
The channel has small overhangs on either side with plenty of morays, and stingrays are a common sight on the sandy bottom. Tuna are abundant in this area, and Grey Reef sharks are seen as well.
