Kuda Faru
Channel shark point with a shallow thila top.
Boat access to a channel thila with a shallow top, a deeper outer wall, and strong-current windows that attract sharks and eagle rays.
About Kuda Faru
Kuda Faru is a classic channel thila on the North Malé side of Makunudhoo Channel. A shallow reef top sits above a deeper outer wall, and blue-water descents or drift entries are common when the current is running. The site is known for shark cleaning-station action and big-animal passes, so it suits divers who want a current-aware, guide-led reef with clear structure and steady pelagic interest.
