Maldives reef dive with a shallow top, coral slope, and rays.
Boat dive on an island-attached reef where the shallow top, mid-slope coral, and drifting wildlife make a strong Maldives stop.
About Medhu Faru
Medhu Faru is an island-attached Maldives reef with a shallow top, a long coral slope, and a relaxed boat-dive profile rather than a hard wall. Coral is strongest through the mid-slope, while fusiliers, Napoleon wrasse, and resting rays keep the upper reef busy. Sharks and seasonal mantas add bigger wildlife interest, making it a strong all-around reef stop.
