Candice Faru is a straightforward reef dive in North Malé Atoll, a good entry point if you're getting your fins wet in the Maldives. The reef plateaus at a comfortable 18 metres, making it an easy drift for beginners or those wanting a relaxed second dive. You’ll typically spot reef sharks patrolling the edges and schools of fusiliers shimmering over the coral. It’s not one for the pelagic hunters, but for a gentle cruise with plenty of colourful reef fish, it does the trick.
