Guraidhoo Corner is a channel corner on the south side of the Guraidhoo kandu in South Male Atoll, where the reef begins around 1 m, slopes to about 12 m and then drops vertically toward a drop-off near 40 m. Incoming current draws grey reef and white-tip sharks, eagle rays, schooling barracuda, jacks and napoleon wrasse, while mantas can appear seasonally. The strong currents and depth make it an advanced drift dive.
