Contrary to giris, thilas are completely submerged in water and are a popular attraction for divers visiting the Maldives. They can be found inside the atoll or in a channel, and they tend to attract a variety of marine life. One of the highlights of Baros Thila is its top reef, which sits at around 8 meters and features stunning rock formations. This reef gradually slopes down to a depth of 25 to 28 meters, offering divers a unique underwater experience.

Divers can expect to encounter numerous magnificent sea anemones at Baros Thila, which serve as homes to large families of anemone fish. The reef is also known to be frequented by big-nosed unicorn fish, who are playful and enjoy interacting with divers. It's an enchanting sight to witness these fish swimming around, surrounded by your bubbles. Make sure to explore underneath the rocks, as you may come across sleeping nurse sharks, resting lionfish, or even lobsters.

Baros Thila is suitable for divers of all levels, from beginners to advanced and expert divers. The visibility underwater is around 16 meters, allowing for clear and breathtaking views of the marine life. The maximum depth at this dive site is approximately 19 meters.
