Faafu Atoll

Faafu Atoll is an administrative region in the Maldives consisting of a chain of low-lying atolls in the Laccadive Sea. The area is known for clear turquoise waters, shallow lagoons, and abundant reef life typical of the central Maldives. Access is commonly via domestic flights and boat transfers to local dive hubs, with dive centers concentrated on inhabited atolls nearby. While the atoll itself offers macro life and reef habitats, most diving opportunities are accessed through nearby atolls and resorts within the central Maldive atoll chain.
