Vakarufalhi, like most of Maldives was hardly affected by the tsunami.
ProDivers have a professional operation there with excellent gear for hire and excellent washing/hanging/drying facilities. (They will wash your gear for you) Spoke to a number of people who were doing OW or AOW with them and they were enjoying it - felt that the tuition was good. A large number of the diving guests were returners. Dive staff are helpful, interested and efficient.
Many dive sites within 30 minutes. Lots of fish - especially quantities of large predators such as jacks, tuna etc. Then there are sharks, mantas, whale sharks, dolphins. Wide range of reef fish. Expect current.
Snorkelling in the crystal clear lagoon yields amazing range - morays, rays, wrasses, squid and startlingly large jacks in only 6 feet of water. Also house reef which gives interest every time you dive it.
Accommodation in cottages shaded by vegetation, facing out over the lagoon. Very clean and comfortable, well maintained, well equipped and really rather romantic
. Good food. Staff are excellent and maintain high standards everywhere. Non-diving guests were also returners or already talking of returning.
Experience of one night on Meerufunfushi - if you like to be treated as marginally less useful than cattle and are into green mould and large cockroaches - this place if for you. And they reckon it's supposed to be high class.
