About this site

Aruh Fanno is a reef and wall dive on the north-west coast of Fuvahmulah, running along a channel cut into the reef. The wall carries a mix of hard and soft corals down to around 30 metres, with the terrain shaped by the channel alongside it.

Groupers and moray eels live among the corals on the wall, and thresher sharks pass along the reef, with early-morning encounters noted as a feature of the site. The recommended certification is Advanced Open Water, reflecting the depth and the wall beyond the coral gardens.

Every dive begins with a full briefing covering depth and current limits; each buddy team carries a surface marker buoy throughout the dive.
