Best for intermediate divers, 10-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Uthuru Maafaru is a drift dive located at the northern tip of the reef in the Baa Atoll. Divers can explore depths between 10 and 30 metres, where moderate currents funnel nutrients along the reef structure. The site is accessible only by boat, and conditions include visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. Due to the potential for strong currents and surge, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Divers should remain close to the reef to manage exposure and use a surface marker buoy during ascent to account for boat traffic. The environment features hard corals and requires caution to avoid sharp edges.
