Naifaru Beyru
Outer reef off Naifaru, the atoll capital, with a steep drop-off and many large caves and overhangs at different depths. Turtles, stingrays and soldierfish rest in the overhangs and morays share crevices with cleaner shrimp. Triggerfish and napoleon wrasse cruise the wall, with tuna, jacks, sharks and eagle rays out in the blue.
