Kottefaru Wall is an intermediate drift wall in Raa Atoll.
Best done with a local dive operator or resort boat; Raa Atoll access depends on proximity to a working dive center.
Kottefaru Wall is a guided boat dive on the southeast edge of Raa Atoll with a sheer wall, colorful soft-coral slopes, and a steep drop into deeper water. It suits divers who are comfortable following a drift, reading a wall profile, and staying close to the guide as the reef edge moves from plateau to drop-off. Plan it as an intermediate wall run that feels best when current and timing are working together.

Scuba Diving
This is a drift wall dive with a steep profile and a current specialty feel when the flow is on, so buoyancy and buddy spacing matter.
Snorkeling
The reef plateau can work as a calm-morning snorkel run, with hard corals, turtles, schooling fish, tunas, and seasonal manta possibilities.
