Best for intermediate divers, Up to 30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Kuni Faru is a reef and drop-off site in the North and Central Atolls of the Maldives, reaching depths of 30 metres. The site is characterised by moderate currents that require intermediate diving skills. Divers should remain close to their guide and deploy an SMB before surfacing due to potential boat traffic. The topography features a wall that allows divers to navigate along the reef face. Water temperatures remain consistent between 28C and 30C throughout the year. Due to the nature of the currents, which can change with little warning, it is recommended to stay near the reef to find calmer water when necessary.

Position yourself upcurrent of the drop-off at the start of the dive and let the water carry you along the reef face, keeping the wall to one side so you can duck into calmer water when needed. Visibility varies, so ask your liveaboard or dive centre for recent conditions before planning your depth.
