Kuredu Express is a sandy channel at the northeastern end of Faadhippolhu (Lhaviyani) Atoll near Kuredu island, with a series of terraces at different depths down to about 30 m and Marine Protected Area status. Strong currents give the site its name, drawing grey reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, tuna, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda and jackfish, with green turtles resting on the ledges. It is an advanced drift dive.
