About this dive site

This dive site, Bulaloghi Faru, is the vibrant surrounding reef of the inhabited Maldivian island of Bulaloghi. Divers typically navigate along a beautiful wall, choosing to go right or left depending on the prevailing currents. The wall is a key feature, characterized by numerous caverns teeming with corals and diverse marine life, offering an engaging drift or planned entry/exit. No specific history or story is provided beyond its natural formation around the island. The site boasts an impressive array of marine animals. Schooling fish, fusiliers, jacks, tunas, soldierfish, and sweetlips are commonly observed. It's also known for sleeping baby white tip reef sharks and frequent sightings of elegant eagle rays. The caverns themselves are filled with a rich variety of corals, providing a vibrant backdrop to the aquatic ecosystem. While specific best times aren't provided, the Maldives generally offers excellent diving year-round, with peak seasons often dictated by monsoon patterns influencing currents and pelagic sightings. Given the variable currents, it's advisable for divers to consult with local dive operators regarding daily conditions. This site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its manageable depths and rich marine life, offering ample opportunity for exploration within the caverns and along the wall.
