A wreck site on the east side of Felivaru Kandu in northern Lhaviyani Atoll, in the channel between Felivaru and Gaaerifaru. Two former Felivaru fish-factory vessels lie close together: Skipjack II sits upright with its bow breaking the surface, while the second wreck rests on its side at about 28-30 m. Both are encrusted in hard and soft coral and host nurse sharks, morays and schooling sweepers. Average depth around 15 m, max about 30 m, advanced level.
