Medhu Kandu * * *

The north side of the channel is the deepest part. The entrance starts with sand at 30 to 35 metres. Out from Medhu Kandu - sketch.JPG (36579 bytes)the sand are caves deeper than 35 metres. On the sand bed are white-tip reef sharks and sting rays. Inside the channel, the reef slopes between 5 and 20 metres.

The south side of Medhu Kandu, is an excellent location for photographers. The outside of the reef slopes from 30 metres to the depths below and on the corner of the channel is a small sand bed at 25 metres. The sand is sourrounded by reef and white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, sting rays and occasionally hammerhead sharks are found here. Over the shallow reef at around 8 metres is more sand and patches of reef where there is an abundance of reef fish. Photographers can happily spend hours in this area where there is good protection from the currents.
