Back Faru is an easy drift dive as it’s well protected by the strong winds during the southwest monsoon season, and also because it’s not greatly affected by the currents. It’s not uncommon to see snorkelers on the site as well, as the reef is very shallow at the top and then it gradually gets deeper. Visibility is also usually very good divers.
