坎多马：在水下和水下的梦想岛目的地

坎多马岛is a dream island destination, as expected from the Maldives – a sunny blue sky, white beaches, palm trees, SPA, nice Bungalows and very nice food. As relaxing as life is above the water, it can be very dramatic down there.

坎多马（Kandooma）位于南男环礁的东侧。是的，在外侧，水不仅沿着礁石流动，还通过通道进入环礁，然后再次流出潮汐。世界上最著名的潜水景点之一位于那里，即“ Kandooma T1zplayhila”。

The Dive Base

Kandooma is led by a cooperation of Holiday Inn andEuro-Divers. They both put security on top. When I arrived, I was offered a check dive even though my last dive wasn't a month ago. I gladly accepted, as a check dive tells you also a lot about the base. I was impressed that the Instructor performed his job very seriously. By the way, Euro Divers only sends instructors out with their guests! That's a great plus regarding security.

The dive places all around are only a few boat minutes from the base. Spacious, traditional dhonis are used as dive boats.

潜水坎多马 - 潜水电流

For the first dive, we chose Loosfushi Canyon. We didn't have to wait too long before the first shark arrived. It was awhitetip reef shark，这有点奇怪，但站在很长的距离之内。这些动物是那里的野生动植物。他们害羞，有自然的尊重。他们不会被人类喂食只是为了吸引人。这使Kandooma如此讨人喜欢。

With the current, we reach the corner to the outer side of the atoll. It was like we are in a picture book. A nice school of sweetlips stood there in the current: that's the Maldives! After this first dive, we are now ready for the "Thila".

A Thila is a reef block, with its top underwater even during a low tide. The Kandooma Thila is 300m long, shaped like a water drop, and stands in the Kandooma channel.

You enter with negative buoyancy and descend fast to reach the top on 16m. The spectacle begins. Often, schools of eagle rays are passing by. We float till the end of the Thila. This can take 20 minutes, or 2 minutes, depending on the current.

At the end, we stay at 30m to observe the sharks. A little bit above, there is a cleaning station for sharks. The Thila is densely populated by huge schools of reef fishes, as well as梭子鱼, tunas or turtles.

The current here at Kandooma Thila, and anywhere around the Island shows the sense of diving with a surface marker buoy. "Kandooma Thila" is widely rated as one of the top ten dive spots worldwide.

Around Kandooma, there are easier dives than the channels and corners on the outer side. In the inner areas of the atoll, it can be quite calm and stress-free. It's also less stressful for the reef, being protected from the big waves, the tsunami of 2004, or generally rough weather conditions. And you can see that. On the outer side, there aren’t many large corals growing, but here you can find beautiful, pristine reef tops.

小岛

After such dives, the Island offers a lot to relax. Beaches, Restaurants, other water sports, a gym and, of course, a Spa of its finest. The gastronomy is on a very high level. The rich buffet is fantastic, and the à la Carte restaurant, "The Kitchen" - a dream.

胜利残骸

尽管位于坎多玛（Kandooma）附近1zplay的许多潜水地点，但我强烈建议您去男性旅行，参观胜利残骸。桅杆顶部约为12m，底部为35m；这是潜水的理想选择。

沉船是一艘货船，位于通道的机场旁边。是的，这通常意味着当前有电流，但是有一条线可以下降和潜水沉船很容易。

花点时间探索那里的富裕生活，不同的货物，船长的小屋，然后在桥上离开。建议进行一日游，因为沉船真的很大（60m），并且仍然有很多负担。

夜潜水也很特1zplay别。我们的位置称为“ Vaggiri”，位于环礁的平静内部区域。可以观察到沉睡的鱼类，以及狩猎的森林或各种各样的螃蟹和虾。悬垂的悬垂覆盖着黄色杯珊瑚，在潜水的尽头，您关闭了火炬，教练演示了浮游生物的发光。1zplay

The Season

坎多马（Kandooma）关于可见性和鲨鱼遭遇的最佳季节是一月至四月。如果您想看到曼塔斯（Mantas）和摩托马（Mobulas），最好从5月到11月旅行。这是大浪的季节，坎多马变成了最著名的冲浪者天堂之一。

前往坎多马很容易。飞往男性，然后跳上假日酒店的快艇，短途旅行。
