Cocoa Corner Dive Site

Cocoa Corner is a dive site that can be explored in different ways.  With the right current and conditions, it has the best shark show in the entire Male Atoll. Many divers consider crossing from Cocoa Corner to Kandooma Thila.  This can be done by beginning the dive from Cocoa Corner with the right current and, while maintaining a depth of 25 to 29 metres, swimming across the current path while parallel to the edge.  This 40 metre-long landmark provides divers with a natural reference that helps them know if they are in the right position while crossing to Kandooma Thila and this way, they do not risk being taken too far inside the channel.  At Cocoa Corner, divers will see grey reef sharks, both adults and newborn babies, guarding the channel. Aside from sharks divers will also see eagle rays and jacks. By the time divers reach the Thila their bottom time should be running out and the best thing to do is to swim to the top of the Thila and continue diving in shallower waters. A safety balloon is a must and divers should always be prepared to make an open water safety stop.
