Kuda Giri Wreck is a small cargo vessel intentionally sunk beside a coral pinnacle in South Male Atoll, near Dhigufinolhu. The wreck stands upright with its deck around 18-20 m and the base near 30-35 m, while the adjacent giri offers a shallow safety-stop reef, suiting a wide range of divers. The hull is encrusted with soft coral and sponges and shelters glassfish, batfish, frogfish, lionfish, moray eels and the occasional turtle or napoleon wrasse. Current is usually light (about 1-2 knots) with moderate visibility.
