About this site
Medhu Kandu is a dive in the Dhiggiri area of the Maldives, where white tip reef sharks, eagle rays and stingrays gather around the sandy bottom at about 20 to 25 metres. Hammerhead sharks are seen here at times as well.
On the south side the shallow reef sits at about 8 metres and carries an abundance of reef fish, which makes it an excellent spot for photographers.
