Naainfaru Uthuru: overhang reef for macro-focused diving
Naainfaru Uthuru: overhang reef for macro-focused diving
Boat access and reef-side entry make the resort dive team the normal way to visit.
Naainfaru Uthuru is a north-side reef in Shaviyani Atoll with a sloping profile, multiple overhangs, and a mix of soldierfish, nudibranchs, shrimps, snappers, and turtles. It suits scuba divers who like reef structure and macro life more than long swim distances, with resort dive boats handling access and guides choosing the calmest line along the reef edge.

Safety Notes
The main caution is the overhangs: keep good buoyancy, stay aware of overhead spaces, and avoid scraping the reef edge.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only through the resort dive network; the site sits on the north side of Naainfaru, not as a walk-in shore reef.
Legal Notes
Follow resort dive briefings and avoid touching or entering the overhangs unnecessarily.
