Maldivian faru with a shallow reef start and drift profile
ALIGHAA BEYRU FARU is a Maldivian faru with a shallow reef start and a long coral slope that pulls into a drift profile. The site suits confident reef divers who like open-ocean water, overhangs, and active fish life along the edge. Plan a boat dive and expect conditions to track current and sea state rather than a protected lagoon.

Scuba Diving
Relatively easy drift dive along the reef, with a shallow top and a slope to around 30 m.

Possible for confident freedivers in calm water, but the moving profile makes this less relaxed than a sheltered site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; the reef is better suited to divers than casual surface swims.
