Boat access from Raa Atoll, with a steep reef, overhangs, and better color when current is running.
About Fainu Corner
Fainu Corner is a boat-access drift dive on a relatively steep reef in Raa Atoll, where upper overhangs give newer divers an easier line while deeper sections suit divers who are comfortable with current. When current is running, the reef is often covered in soft coral and the site rewards nitrox or deeper profiles. Plan it as a guided day with flexible timing, because the drift is the whole point.
