Kudiboli Faru

About Kudiboli Faru
Kudiboli Faru is a channel-side reef with a cavey edge and a more structured profile than a simple swim-along reef. The site rewards divers who like a moving-water feel, with a shallow top, a deeper outer section, and reef relief that changes as you work the edge. Plan it as a guided boat dive and expect the pickup to matter when the channel is running. Soft coral patches and shark interest round out the site rather than a flat, passive reef.
