Guided Raa Atoll reef dive with a shallow coral slope, sandy corner, and seasonal manta traffic.
About Thiling Faru
Thiling Faru is a boat-access reef in Raa Atoll with a shallow top that drops along a coral slope to a sandy corner and manta cleaning station. The route is simple enough for a guided day-boat dive, but the cleaning corner makes it more than a plain reef cruise. Expect grey reef sharks, eagle rays, stingrays, and schools of snappers, with manta rays more likely in season.
