About this site
This dive site in the Maldives' Ari Atoll features a stunning thila rising from the depths, covered in vibrant soft and hard corals. Schools of snapper, fusiliers, and trevally swirl around the pinnacle, while white tip reef sharks patrol the edges. The current can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. Look for eagle rays gliding past and occasional sightings of hammerheads in the blue. The top of the thila sits around 12 meters, with the base dropping to 30 meters, offering varied terrain. Excellent visibility and warm water year-round make this a must-dive spot.
