Baros Faru

This dive site, Baros Faru, is a vibrant reef situated at the southern end of the Baros’ lagoon in the Maldives. It offers a distinctive underwater landscape where the reef seamlessly transitions into an extensive coral garden at approximately 25 meters depth, providing clear navigation along its contours. No specific history or story is provided, but its name 'Faru' indicates a reef in Dhivehi. The reef boasts an abundance of healthy hard coral life, forming the foundation of a thriving ecosystem. Divers can expect to encounter whitetip reef sharks and turtles, as well as numerous clownfish ("nemos"). Lionfishes and a diverse array of other reef fishes contribute to the rich biodiversity of this site. The site's healthy coral and diverse marine life make it an appealing destination year-round, though the dry season (December to April) generally offers the best visibility. Its relatively shallow average depth of 9 meters, with a maximum of 19 meters, makes it ideal for divers of all levels, including beginners. Freedivers and snorkelers will also enjoy the vibrant reef top and abundant fish life, making it a well-rounded spot for underwater enthusiasts.
