About Fan Reef
Fan Reef is a shallow wall dive off Kuramathi with quick boat access from the resort jetty. The site blends bays, a plateau, and craggy coral blocks with overhangs and crevices, and the shallow sections can hold table coral, reef fish, and frequent sightings of rays, sharks, turtles, barracuda, tuna, and jacks. It is a strong beginner option, but the channel-side entry can still be current-exposed.
