Gashfinolhu Thilla

This dive site features a stunning thilla rising from the depths, covered in vibrant soft corals and sea fans. Schools of snapper, trevally, and batfish swirl around the pinnacle, while reef sharks and eagle rays often pass by. The current can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. The top of the thilla sits at 12 meters, with the base dropping to 30 meters, offering dramatic walls and overhangs. Visibility is excellent, often exceeding 30 meters. Expect encounters with turtles, moray eels, and occasional white tip reef sharks.
