Guide-led outer-rim dive with open-water exposure, shifting current, and an active reef-wall profile.
About Aruh Fanno
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.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best for guided scuba on an exposed reef wall, where steady buoyancy and comfort in blue-water conditions matter.
Freedive
Not a primary freedive site; the wall profile and open-water setting fit scuba better.
Snorkel
Not a primary snorkel site; treat it as a boat-dived wall rather than a casual surface stop.
