Anga Faru

A reef on the eastern edge of Baa Atoll cut with canyons and overhangs from 12-30m, known as a grey reef shark nursery where juveniles patrol the reef. Eagle rays, bigeye trevally, humpback red snapper and dolphins pass through, and manta aggregations of 50 or more have been recorded here independent of moon phase. The adjacent Anga Thila pinnacles (25-30m) are an Advanced dive.
