Candice Faru is a layered Maldives reef dive with strong coral and fish life.
Candice Faru is a reef dive site northeast of Hilton Maldives Amingiri, with a shallow top and a layered reef face that rewards slow exploration. Overhangs, hard coral, and dense reef structure give it a busy feel across multiple levels. It is a boat dive for divers who want easy route-finding, good coral cover, and plenty to look through. Expect a rich Maldivian mix of reef life rather than a single dramatic drop-off.

Scuba Diving
Multi-level reef with a shallow top, hard coral, and overhangs that reward a slow, controlled route.

Snorkeling
Only a very limited snorkel option on the shallowest reef edge if conditions are calm; this is primarily a scuba dive.
