About this dive site
This dive site, Gemmiskiyh Fanno, is renowned for its diverse marine life and stunning underwater landscapes. The shallow areas are characterized by a vibrant reef ecosystem, teeming with colorful hard and soft corals that provide habitat for a variety of reef fish such as butterflyfish, parrotfish, and angelfish. The coral formations here are exceptionally healthy, making it a prime location for divers interested in observing macro invertebrates and the delicate beauty of reef ecosystems. As you descend, the dive site transitions to deeper waters, offering encounters with larger pelagic species. Divers frequently spot reef sharks, barracudas, and occasionally, graceful manta rays gliding through the currents. Situated near Fuvahmulah’s deep ocean, Gemmiskiyh Fanno attracts thresher sharks and, on rare occasions, even whale sharks. The steep walls and drop-offs create a dramatic descent into the blue abyss, providing an exciting experience for those seeking adventure in deeper waters.
