About this dive site

This dive site, Gemiskiyy Fannu, is situated at the northern tip of an island in the Maldives, offering an exhilarating drift dive experience. Divers enter the water and allow the strong, prevailing currents to carry them along the reef, providing an effortless glide over the vibrant underwater landscape. There is no specific historical information or unique story provided for this dive site. The site is renowned for its diverse marine life, with common sightings including White tip reef sharks, Lobsters, Dog tooth tunas, Fusiliers, Hawksbill Turtles, and Silver tip sharks. The healthy and vibrant coral formations provide a colourful backdrop for this rich ecosystem. Seasonally, divers have the extraordinary opportunity to encounter magnificent pelagic species such as Cruising Oceanic Mantas, Whale Sharks, and Thresher sharks. While specific seasonal months are not provided, the best time to visit for these special pelagic encounters is during their respective migration periods. Divers should possess good buoyancy control and be comfortable with drift diving techniques and current management due to the strong currents. For freedivers, the challenging currents and significant depth make it primarily a scuba diving destination, requiring advanced skills and support.
