Best for intermediate divers, 10-22m, boat entry, moderate current.
Anga Faru is a drift dive located in the Baa Atoll, featuring a reef system with depths ranging from 10 to 22 metres. The site includes swim-throughs that require precise buoyancy control. Divers should be prepared for moderate currents that can strengthen quickly, necessitating proximity to the reef and the potential use of a reef hook. Visibility typically fluctuates between 10 and 30 metres. Access is strictly by boat, and the site is suitable for intermediate divers. Due to the overhead environment within swim-throughs and the presence of strong currents, careful monitoring of conditions and surface signalling after ascent are essential for safety.
