About Maafaru Caves
Maafaru Caves is a boat dive in Raa Atoll where a reef channel cuts into an open tunnel lined with soft corals, overhangs, and coral blocks. The route behaves like a drift dive through a sculpted reef wall, so buoyancy control and current comfort matter from the start. It suits confident divers who want a scenic, current-driven site and are prepared to plan around boat logistics and changing sea conditions.
