Best for advanced divers, 24-100m, boat entry, strong current.
Farsha Ergein Farayed is a challenging wall and drift dive located within the Saint Johns reef system. The site features a steep drop-off starting at 24 metres and extending to 100 metres. Strong currents are a defining characteristic, often requiring careful planning and precise buoyancy control. Divers should be prepared for variable visibility and must use a surface marker buoy for boat retrieval. Due to the significant depth and exposure to powerful currents, this site is strictly for advanced divers. Access is exclusively by boat, and it is recommended to time dives around slack water to manage the current effectively.
