I did this dive 2/29/04.
It was a strenuous drift dive with cool caves. We had to fin hard to each cave through the current. The fish hang upside down in caves and bubbles from divers in caves below would come through. Green stony coral was everywhere with little orange fish hiding behind out of the current.
As with all Maldive dives, this is an advanced dive requiring a computer to monitor decompression stops due to the depths. Also the currents are not only strong horizontally, but also vertically, potentially moving the diver up or down in the water too quickly.
