Kihaadhuffaru Reef

Healthy reef near Core Area; shallow (1m) with wall-like drop-offs to 20m. Drift-friendly.

A nice and easy reef located near the Core Area, the top reef is full of healthy corals and beautiful fish life, and also perfect for a drift dive. Blacktip reef sharks can be found patrolling the shallow reef, while nurse sharks huddle together in crevices, sheltering from the current. The top reef starts as shallow as 1 meter and extends down like a wall in some areas to 20 meters. Additional marine life includes scorpionfish, lionfish, anemones in the shallows, turtles, stingrays, and occasionally eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, and tuna in the open water. The reef features an extension to another dive site called Kihaadhuffaru thila, which can also be explored within a single dive.
