Navigation primarily involves drifting along the sloping reef, exploring sandy patches and large rock formations. There is no specific historical information or story provided for this site. The marine ecosystem at Lankan Faru is vibrant and diverse. Divers can encounter various species including sharks, jacks, bat fish, snappers, groupers, moray eels, eagle rays, and stingrays. Small glass fish are often found hiding within the big rock formations, adding to the rich biodiversity. While Lankin Faru is known for manta ray sightings during their season, it remains an excellent dive site even after this period for observing a wide array of other marine life.
