About this spot

Guraidhoo Corner sits in Kaafu Atoll near Lhosfushi island and offers diving accessible throughout the year. The site features coral structures that support a rich variety of fish and marine species. Community observations document at least 12 distinct species at the location, making it a reliable destination for marine biodiversity. The corner formation creates natural channels and walls that attract pelagic activity. Divers report varied underwater topography suitable for exploration. While the site sits outside a marine protected area, current coral bleaching alerts warrant attention to seasonal conditions and local reef health. Guraidhoo Corner works well for divers seeking consistent year-round access without strict seasonal windows. The site's established species count and community video documentation provide good reference for planning dives. Local operators and guides familiar with Kaafu Atoll conditions can advise on tidal flows and optimal timing within each season.
