About this site
Thinadhoo Faru sits in the Vaavu Atoll, a pristine dive site in the Maldives. The reef slopes gently before dropping into a dramatic wall, teeming with marine life. Expect schools of snapper, trevally, and occasional reef sharks. The current can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. Soft corals and vibrant sponges cover the wall, attracting turtles and eagle rays. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, with warm water year-round. A thrilling dive for experienced divers.
