Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Kuda Faru offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Kuda Faru offers a good drift dive along a sloping reef in North Malé. It’s a solid intermediate site, usually presenting a moderate current that carries you past some nice soft corals and sea fans. We often spot reef sharks cruising the deeper edge here, and the usual suspects of fusiliers, snappers, and parrotfish are always hanging around. It’s a reliable spot for a relaxed afternoon dive, a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater.
