Why dive here
With 45+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Farikede Faru offers some of Vaavu Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Farikede Faru is a deep dive, one for those comfortable with significant depths. We've heard whispers of thresher sharks here, the kind that might just cruise by in the blue. Keep an eye out for oceanic manta rays and whale sharks too, though they're always a lucky encounter. This site really suits divers looking for pelagic action, willing to put in the bottom time for a chance at something big.
