Northern Rasdhoo shark reef with wall-and-slope diving.
Miyaru Faru is Rasdhoo Atoll's northern shark reef, with a wall-and-slope profile that quickly opens into blue water. It is a classic outer-reef drift-style dive for current-comfortable divers, built around sharks, rays, coral blocks, and current-aware timing rather than a mellow shallow reef session. Plan it with a local boat operator, pick the calmer October-to-April window when possible, and expect the site to reward steady buoyancy and good spacing on the wall.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m - 25m
Depth Note
Reef wall is described between 10–25 m, with a reef slope descending into deep water.
Best Season
October through April
Typical Conditions
Boat-accessed outer-reef diving with a sharky drop-off, variable current, and better visibility in the October-to-April window.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep depth awareness on the wall and plan around current; the site is sharky, but the bigger risk is getting lazy with spacing or buoyancy when the water moves.
Access Restrictions
Boat-only access; plan with a local operator and time the dive around current and weather windows.
Legal Notes
The wider eastern Rasdhoo Atoll overlaps a shark-and-ray conservation area, so treat the site as conservation-sensitive and follow local dive-boat rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for experienced scuba divers who want a moving outer-reef dive with sharks, rays, and blue-water action.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site. The wall, boat access, and current make it better suited to scuba planning rather than casual breath-hold dives.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the reef drops quickly and current can run, so it is best left to divers or very confident local-guided snorkelers.
