Sirru Fen Fushi House Reef - Baa Atoll

The house reef at Sirru Fen Fushi is a solid entry point for a Maldives dive, especially if you’re new to the region or just warming up your fins. Dropping to a gentle 13 metres, it’s an easy run, no tricky currents to worry about. We’ve had some lovely encounters here with reef sharks cruising through the shallows and parrotfish chomping away at the coral. It’s a comfortable dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in before tackling the atoll's more demanding drifts.
