    Furana North is a gentle drift in North Malé, maxing out at 22m. We found it a pleasant, easy dive, good for shaking off the rust or for newer divers. Keep an eye out for reef sharks patrolling the channel edge and schooling snappers hanging close to the reef. It’s a straightforward dive, often a nice first splash for a trip.
