About this dive site

This dive site, Jack Faru, is located in a beautiful channel characterized by abundant hard coral. The depth range typically falls between 20 and 30 meters. A prominent feature is a Thila – a small islet or rock formation – situated within the channel. This Thila offers a fantastic opportunity to observe a large school of fusiliers. With favorable currents, Gray Reef Sharks may also be spotted nearby. Divers exploring the drop-off zone should remain vigilant, as unexpected encounters with marine life are possible, including potentially majestic Great Hammerhead sharks or graceful Manta rays.
