Wattaru Kandu is a great dive site for intermediate divers wishing to see stingrays, garden eels and reef sharks.  Recommended for intermediate level scuba divers, Wattaru Kandu can have some strong currents, which vary according to the season.  Coral formations here are pretty and colorful, and are home to a good variety of fish and marine life.  On the coral, divers can expect to see some big jacks, turtles, and napoleon wrasse.  Wattaru Kandu is located off the North Male Atoll, and is easily identified by a sandbank and the reef top, which can be seen from above the water.   Another special feature of this Maldives dive site is the large population of harmless remora fish, who like to suck on divers and snorkelers as they pass by underwater.
