Embudu Canyon

Also known as: Emboodhoo Canyon · Embudhoo Canyon · Embudhu Canyon

Divers swim through the canyon along its floor at about 20 metres and then rise past overhangs and small caves full of colourful growth. Light falling into the cut makes it a favourite for photographers. Near a cave and coral block at about 28 to 30 metres small reef sharks and Napoleon wrasse are often seen. SSI also lists nurse sharks, turtles, eagle rays, leaf scorpionfish and dogtooth tuna, with occasional whale sharks.
