Aruh Fanno is a boat-only outer-rim dive on Fuvahmulah, shaped by a reef-slope to wall profile and open-water exposure. It suits divers who are comfortable with guide-led blue-water profiles, steady buoyancy, and an active reef rather than a sheltered bay, because the day plan follows wind, swell, and current.

Open-ocean reef-wall diving with clear water, active reef life, and exposure that rises with tide, wind, and swell.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Use a guide, keep the group compact, and expect the plan to shift with weather and current on the exposed rim.

Legal Notes
Published operator materials note certification, dive insurance, and a 30 m recreational depth limit.

Scuba Diving
Best for guided scuba on an exposed reef wall, where steady buoyancy and comfort in blue-water conditions matter.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the wall profile and open-water setting fit scuba better.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; treat it as a boat-dived wall rather than a casual surface stop.
