Best for intermediate divers, 5-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Ramfaru Tulu in the South Male Atoll is a reef and wall dive featuring a shallow reef top that transitions into a drop-off reaching 30 metres. Divers typically experience moderate currents, which are best timed to coincide with an incoming flow to maximise visibility and pelagic activity. The site requires boat access and is suited for intermediate divers due to the potential for surge and swell near the wall. With depths ranging from 5 to 30 metres, divers should monitor their air and depth closely. Species recorded around this area include spotted eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, hawksbill sea turtles, and various triggerfish, moray eels, and reef sharks.

Time your entry to coincide with an incoming current along the wall, as this tends to push pelagic action close to the drop-off and keeps the visibility at its best. Confirm current predictions with your dive operator before the boat departs, as conditions at this site can shift through the day.
