Boahura Express is a steep outer-reef drift wall with strong current.
The channel-drift setup is best handled by a local guide who knows the current line and pickup points.
Boahura Express is an advanced outer-reef drift dive on the eastern side of Meemu Atoll. The reef edge runs along a long faru and quickly turns into a steep wall, so the dive moves fast and rewards precise buoyancy and current awareness. It is known for schooling snapper, sweetlips, and fusiliers, plus turtles, sharks, tuna, manta rays, eagle rays, and parrotfish.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay tight on depth and buoyancy on the wall, and plan for a fast drift line that can carry the group quickly.
Access Restrictions
Guided drift access recommended because of the current and pickup logistics.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best suited to experienced scuba divers comfortable with strong current, a steep wall, and a fast blue-water drift.
