Unique experience at Kandooma Caves Maldives
The caves can be found around 50 meters from the reef corner of the Kandooma Island. Of a total of 4 caves lined up in a row, the first cave reaches a depth of 20 meters and has a hole in the roof at about 10 meters while the other cave reaches a depth of 16 metres. The second cave extends to a length of 70 meters where a curly overhand blocks most of the light from reaching inside. Therefore, a torch will be much useful here. Once you explore the depths of these caves, there are many marine species you will come across, such as giant morays, yellow sponges, sea fans and many more. If you continue exploring further through the channel, you’ll find two other caves which are home to groupers, squirrel fish, clown triggerfish, sweetlips, angel fish and green turtles!
