About this site

Holi Faru is a wall site off Kuramathi Island in Ari Atoll, in the central Maldives, reached by dhoni from the resort's house reef area. The wall runs down to around 25 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it accessible to divers still building experience. Moray eels and reef sharks are a regular sight along the drop-off, and divers have also reported bannerfish, batfish, fusiliers, lobster, nurse sharks, stingrays, and sweetlips on the same reef.
