    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Medha Faru, in South Malé Atoll, often delivers a decent drift dive, letting the current carry you along the reef. We’ve found decent hard coral formations here, and often spot reef sharks cruising the edge, along with the usual suspects like snappers and fusiliers. It’s a good choice for divers comfortable with current, looking for a reliable, straightforward Maldivian reef experience.
