Fenfushi North

This dive site, Fenfushi North, is a thrilling drift dive located between Fenfushi Faru and Maafaru Faru in the Maldives. Divers typically begin on a small thila, then navigate across a vast bay, following the main reef on their left shoulder. This dynamic dive is often conducted 'on the fly,' meaning the variable currents dictate the specific trajectory and speed of the dive. There is no specific historical information or unique story associated with the naming of this site. The strong and often ripping currents at Fenfushi North are a magnet for an impressive array of marine life, particularly large pelagic species. Divers can consistently expect encounters with various sharks and rays. The site also boasts a healthy population of 'small stuff,' indicating a rich biodiversity of smaller reef fish and invertebrates, contributing to a vibrant ecosystem. The period from February to April is highly recommended for visiting Fenfushi North, as this is the prime season for spotting majestic Manta Rays. Due to the potential for powerful, ripping currents, this site is best suited for experienced divers who are comfortable with drift diving techniques and possess excellent buoyancy control. Due to current unpredictability, it is generally not recommended for snorkelers or freedivers.
