Two-thila boat dive with torch-friendly overhangs.
Ram Faru Thulu is a South Male Atoll boat dive built around two thilas with overhangs, coral blocks, and sponge-covered ledges. The route stays close to the structure, where a torch helps in the shaded cuts and steady buoyancy matters more than covering distance. It suits divers who like compact reef topography and a guided plan.

Scuba Diving
Overhang exploration is a highlight; carrying a torch is recommended.

Not a snorkel-first site; the main features sit on the thilas and shaded structure below the surface.
