Ory Faru

This dive site, Ory Faru, is an easy wall dive situated directly in front of Kuramathi island in the Maldives. The reef begins at approximately 4 meters and gracefully descends beyond 40 meters, forming a vibrant wall structure. Its straightforward topography and gentle nature make it highly navigable and perfectly suitable for divers of all experience levels, from beginners to advanced. There is no specific history or known story behind this natural reef formation. The diverse marine life that can be observed includes fascinating creatures such as octopus, lobsters, Maldivian clownfish, and various moray eels, often found nestled within the wall and reef crevices. Divers should also maintain vigilance in the blue waters for encounters with larger pelagic species, including graceful eagle rays and different types of sharks, along with the occasional sighting of turtles. While specific seasonal highlights for Ory Faru are not detailed, the Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round. This site is particularly recommended for beginners due to its ease, and freedivers will find the shallow reef top and gentle wall ideal for breath-hold exploration. Photographers will appreciate opportunities for both macro photography of the smaller inhabitants and wide-angle shots of the impressive wall and passing pelagics.
