About this dive site
This dive site, Bodu Securade, is a prominent and extended Faru located within a Maldivian atoll. Divers can explore a beautiful drop-off extending from 15 to 25 meters, characterized by numerous overhangs and smaller caves. Navigation primarily involves following the reef wall and exploring these diverse topographical features, which showcase the rich underwater landscape. There is no specific historical information or unique story provided for this site.
The walls and overhangs are spectacularly adorned with a variety of soft corals and sponges, exhibiting a dazzling array of colors. Within these sheltered spaces, divers are likely to encounter fascinating macro life such as glassfish, shrimp, various species of moray eels, and intriguing leaf fish. In the open water adjacent to the drop-off, large shoals of fusiliers are commonly observed, often accompanied by hunting jackfish, providing thrilling predatory action.
The best time to visit the Maldives for diving is generally from December to May, when the weather is dry and visibility is at its peak, though diving is possible year-round. For divers, practicing good buoyancy control is crucial, especially when exploring the overhangs and caves, and being aware of potential currents is important due to the presence of hunting jackfish. Freedivers can also enjoy this site, particularly its shallower sections and the upper parts of the drop-off, making it a versatile location for various underwater activities.
