Bodo Fanno ( Sea Fans )

This dive site, Bodo Fanno, located in the Maldives, is celebrated for its vast fields of colorful sea fans that stretch from 14 meters down to 35 meters. Divers typically navigate along these expansive formations, exploring numerous small overhangs and channels that offer intricate habitats. While no specific historical narrative is provided, its name 'Sea Fans' clearly indicates its defining characteristic and primary attraction. The marine life here is exceptionally diverse, featuring impressive schooling trevally and fusiliers, alongside captivating macro life such as anemones and lobsters tucked within the overhangs. The site is particularly noteworthy for potential sightings of cruising thresher sharks and tunas, adding an exciting pelagic dimension to the reef exploration. The best time to visit Bodo Fanno aligns with the Maldives' dry season (November to April) for optimal visibility and calmer conditions, though thresher sharks can be encountered year-round. This site is a paradise for underwater photographers, both macro and wide-angle enthusiasts, due to its vibrant sea fan landscapes and rich small life. Freedivers will find the depth range suitable for exploring the upper sections of the sea fan fields and observing schooling fish.
