Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Uthuru Faru offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Uthuru Faru, sitting in North Malé Atoll, makes for a relaxed dive. We’ve found it’s a good spot for easing back into things, especially if you haven't been in the water for a while, or for newer divers. The reef tops out around 18 metres, a comfortable depth where you can take your time scanning for reef sharks cruising by or perhaps a turtle munching on a coral head. Visibility is usually pretty dependable here, making it easy to enjoy the schools of fusiliers swirling around the coral formations. It's a gentle introduction to Maldivian diving, straightforward and pleasant.
