About this dive site

This dive site, Boava faru, offers a rewarding experience just 15 minutes by boat from Residence Dhigurah. The reef is circular, approximately 200 meters in diameter, and features a diverse underwater landscape. Diving begins around 2-3 meters with a healthy top reef that extends down to over 30 meters. Expect to encounter pelagic creatures such as Gray Reef Sharks, Eagle Rays, and Napoleons—particularly when the current is flowing outward. The reef provides an excellent opportunity for exploring marine life.
