About Ran Faru
Ran Faru is a boat-access wall dive in North Male Atoll with overhangs, hard coral, and dense fish action. Glassfish gather in the shaded sections and batfish are a regular bonus. The route follows the wall rather than a flat reef, so slow down for the overhang section and plan the dive around local flow and the calmer seasonal window.
