Kashaavaru Kandu (Golden Wall)

This dive site, known as Golden Wall, is located in the southern region of Vaavu Atoll in the Maldives. It offers a unique experience combining an outer channel where you can observe large pelagic species and an inner reef wall teeming with vibrant coral life.

When the current is medium to strong at the mouth of the channel, divers will have the opportunity to spot sharks and big game fish gracefully gliding by. Inside the channel, a rich variety of fish life can be explored.

With optimal visibility reaching up to 23m and a maximum depth of 29m, Golden Wall guarantees a mesmerizing underwater journey for both beginner and advanced divers. Its proximity to Felidhoo, Vaavu, Maldives makes it easily accessible to diving enthusiasts.

Begin your dive by descending along the outside wall of the channel, where encounters with grey reef sharks, white tip sharks, eagle rays, large tuna, and jackfish await. As you drift further inside the channel, the breathtaking golden wall will capture your attention, particularly when sunlight dances through the water's surface. The site owes its name to the abundance of golden yellow soft corals adorning the reef wall.

Dive enthusiasts with a love for underwater photography will find the overhangs and ledges along Golden Wall perfect for exploration. Soldierfish, snappers, shrimp, moray eels, and lobster often make these structures their home. Just be mindful of the current, ensuring it doesn't sweep you away too quickly.
