The Dhigurah Thila, Maldives

The Dhigurah Thila is one of the most beautiful dive sites in the Maldives

With its clear visibility and rich marine life, you would get to appreciate the true beauty of the Maldives’ underworld

Location: South Ari Atoll, a kilometer North of Dhigurah Island

Description: The Eastern side of the thila is exposed to ocean currents and drops quickly down from 8 meters to the ocean plateau at 45 meters. The reef wall is about 400 meters long, the whole length is interspersed with caves and overhangs. Midway along the thila on the eastern side is a fracture in the reef, starting at 15 meters and descending to 40 meters. This dive consists of a spectacular coral pinnacle surfacing from a depth of 45 meters to 8 meters below the surface. The Dhigurah thila is also ideal for macrophotograpy.

Depth range: 8 – 30 metres

Marine life: The fracture is crowded with marine life of all types and sizes. Check out the coral outcrops along the wall of the thila. In the Southwest monsoon, make it a point to watch out for whale sharks that are commonly seen there.

Instructor’s comment: The top of the thila is good for snorkelling, with leather corals and lots of feeding turtles.
