About Naainfaru Irumathi
Naainfaru Irumathi is a long faru on the south-east side of Naainfaru in Shaviyani Atoll. The site is a fairly easy boat drift along a sloping hard-coral reef, with a shallow top that drops away into the reef face and plenty of room for a relaxed Maldives current dive. Turtles, stingrays, eagle rays, and octopus make the reef feel lively, while clear-water conditions and simple boat logistics keep the planning straightforward for visiting divers.
