Kuda Haa

Kuda Haa Dive Site in the Maldives

Located in the southwest of the Kaafu atoll, Kuda Haa is a legendary dive site known for its impressive marine life. With its clear visibility of 19m and a maximum depth of 24m, this site offers a thrilling diving experience for advanced and expert divers.

Kuda Haa features two connected thilas, which are easily visible from the surface. One thila starts at 6 meters, while the other begins around 14 meters. Both slopes lead down to a sandy bottom at 30+ meters, creating an exciting underwater landscape to explore.

As a protected marine area, Kuda Haa prohibits fishing, resulting in abundant marine life. Divers often describe this site as a "fish soup" due to the diverse range of species that can be found here. Napoleon wrasses guide divers through the small valley, while majestic big blue tunas make their presence known. Moray eels, shrimps, and basslets can be spotted on the reef, adding to the underwater spectacle.

For divers with a keen eye, a stroke of luck may reveal the elusive scorpion fish or mantis shrimps, showcasing their remarkable boxing skills as they fiercely protect their homes.

Please note that Kuda Haa is situated in front of a channel, which can experience strong currents. As a result, advanced diving skills and a fast descent are often necessary to fully enjoy this dive site.
