StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Bathala Maga Khan Faru in Rasdhoo Atoll offers a straightforward reef dive, perfect for newer divers getting comfortable in the Maldivian current. We found the coral cover decent, a mix of table and brain corals, with plenty of small reef fish flitting about-damselfish, fusiliers, and the usual parrotfish. It’s a gentle introduction to the region’s diving, generally calm at 24 metres, without the stronger currents some of the other channels are known for. Come here for a relaxed swim-through, a chance to really slow down and observe the smaller stuff.
