Hanimaadhoo Faru
★★★★☆
(321)
This dive often begins on the shallower sandy patches, between the older coral formations within the natural, shallow lagoon. Moving to the edge, down and along the wall, eventually descending down to the sandy bottom at about 25 meters, where some large blocks of corals and rocks are full of life.
Nurse sharks and stingrays resting. Schools of fusiliers and yellow snappers keep us company throughout the dive and turtles and octopus are often seen with all the usual reef dwellers.
