About this site
Kandholhudhoo Thila lies near Kandholhudhoo island in Ari Atoll, one of the larger atolls in the central Maldives known for its thila and giri dive sites scattered along its rim and lagoon. Thila formations in this part of the Maldives typically rise from deeper channel water toward the surface, drawing boat traffic from resorts and safari vessels operating in Ari Atoll. Divers here have also reported scorpionfish and stonefish resting on the reef structure, so care with buoyancy and hand placement around the rocks and coral heads is worthwhile.
