About this dive site
This dive site is located on the south side of Medhu Faru, an area renowned for its scenic drift dives within the atoll. The dive offers a compelling experience due to its varied topography. Near the corner of the channel, the wall steepens considerably, and currents accelerate as they pass through the narrow passage. Grey and Whitetip Reef Sharks are frequently observed congregating in this area at depths ranging from 22 to 30 meters. Following this section, a small canyon is formed by large rocks, dropping down to 18 meters. The underwater environment boasts abundant marine life including Trevallies, Tuna, and Fusiliers. This dive site provides an engaging drift experience with opportunities for shark encounters and diverse fish sightings.
