Why dive here
Medhu Faru is a reef dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Medhu Faru sits on the north side of Guraidhoo Kandu, and it really shines when the current is pushing into the atoll. We drop in, sinking to a ledge around 21 metres, where the reef gives way to a deeper blue. Our lead usually takes us around a corner, moving from the outer wall into the channel. Here, you'll start noticing the reef's residents, though exactly what shows up can vary. It’s a pretty mellow dive, well-suited for newer divers getting comfortable with channel diving in Baa Atoll.
