Our house reef is opposite the dive centre with entry from Velaa (Turtle) Beach. ‘Naifaru’ translates to ‘Mantis Shrimp Reef’ and, with a bit of luck, you can spot these critters on your dive.
The west side of the reef is home to our coral restoration site and is teaming with fish life including damselfish, anthias, gobies, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, triggerfish, morays and more. Look out for the schools of batfish as you pass the floating marine centre.

Our house reef is opposite the dive centre with entry from Velaa (Turtle) Beach. ‘Naifaru’ translates to ‘Mantis Shrimp Reef’ and, with a bit of luck, you can spot these critters on your dive.
The west side of the reef is home to our coral restoration site and is teaming with fish life including damselfish, anthias, gobies, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, triggerfish, morays and more. Look out for the schools of batfish as you pass the floating marine centre.
The east side is where we normally spot our resident hawksbill turtle and the coral blocks house giant morays, shrimps, anemones, juvenile emperor angelfish and octopus.
Crossing the sand to the southern and deeper reef look out for garden eels swaying in the current and stingrays and eagle rays feeding - this is also where we spotted the ornate eagle ray in February and April this year. The patch of reef at 16m is adorned with coral and anemones and occasionally juvenile reef sharks are spotted here.
