North Ari reef dive with easy boat access and macro life.
Fushi Faru is a North Ari reef dive off the small uninhabited island of Fushi, reached from Ukulhas by a short boat ride. The site blends a main reef with attached pinnacles, so divers can work a slower reef line or spend more time in the structured sections for macro life. It is usually an easy, current-light dive with abundant fish life. Plan the run around calmer windows if you want the clearest, most comfortable conditions.

Scuba Diving
Boat dive with a reef line and attached pinnacles, so the guide can keep it relaxed or work the structure more closely.

Snorkeling
Only the shallowest reef edge is likely to be usable; the pinnacles are better seen on scuba.
