A manta cleaning station inside Maa Kandu (Kuda Kandu), the northern channel of Addu Atoll, with the cleaning station sitting around 17-20 m. Morning incoming current draws reef manta rays to the station for a few hours daily. Topography is a channel reef and plateau; the dive suits intermediate to advanced divers due to current. Manta activity is most reliable during the southwest monsoon.
