Beginner-friendly boat reef with sandy shallows and rays.
OLHUVELI HULANGU FARU is a beginner-friendly boat reef just east of the resort island, with a short transfer and a sandy top that gives the site its pale, milky look. Rays often rest on the sand here, and mantas can visit in season, so the reef works well for easy boat diving with a strong wildlife payoff. It is best for divers who are comfortable in open-water conditions that can shift with the season.
