Channel reef with current, rays, and shark action.
Amra is a boat-access channel reef on the north-west end of Dhiya Adi Faru, where a finger of reef reaches into the flow and breaks into blocks and overhangs. It is a current-rich dive built for controlled buoyancy and close reef work, with pelagic fish moving through the channel and larger animals often using the flow. The draw is movement, shape, and shark-and-ray action rather than a static reef wall.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay close to the guide and reef in the current; this is a control dive, not a place to drift loose around the overhangs.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A channel-style reef dive with a reef finger, saddle, blocks, and overhangs; best when you can manage current and stay close to the reef.
Freediving
Possible for advanced freedivers, but the current and overhangs make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the reef finger and current action are better experienced underwater.
