Sirru Faru Dhekunu

This dive site, Sirru Faru Dhekunu, offers an easy drift dive experience along a gentle slope situated just outside the boat channel to the south of the island. The navigation is straightforward, following the natural contours of the reef, which is rarely affected by strong currents, making it a relaxed diving spot. There is no specific historical information or story provided about the site's origins or discovery. The marine life at Sirru Faru Dhekunu is vibrant, highlighted by an amazing hard coral garden that flourishes on the top reef, providing a stunning underwater landscape. Within the numerous small overhangs and cracks in the reef formations, divers can observe the distinctive antennas of lobsters and encounter curious moray eels peeking out from their hiding spots. The site is also home to a variety of reef fish that inhabit the coral ecosystems. The best time to visit the Maldives, and subsequently this dive site, is typically during the dry season from December to May, when water conditions are generally calm and visibility is excellent. The shallow to moderate depths make it an ideal location for both scuba divers and freedivers looking to explore a beautiful coral reef. Its easy-going nature also makes it particularly suitable for beginner divers and underwater photographers focusing on macro and wide-angle reef photography.
