    Rannalhi Faru, in South Malé Atoll, offers a relaxed reef dive that often feels like a private aquarium. We’ve drifted along, keeping an eye out for the smaller residents – the likes of Emery's Pygmygoby and Redlined Pygmygoby are practically guaranteed if you look closely. It’s a great spot for those who enjoy slowing down and appreciating the intricate details of a coral ecosystem. We'd suggest it for divers looking for a mellow second or third dive, especially good for photographers keen on macro subjects without the rush of a strong current.
