    Himmafushi Faru offers a relaxed dive, perfect if you’re looking to ease into the Maldivian currents. The reef slopes gently down to 23 metres, well within recreational limits and ideal for those newer to diving or getting back in the water. We usually find schools of fusiliers here, often accompanied by the usual suspects like parrotfish and surgeonfish grazing on the corals. It’s a comfortable drift, letting you take your time and simply enjoy being underwater.
