Digufaru Thila

It is important to note that due to these powerful currents, this particular dive site is recommended for experienced divers or those who are eager to learn and improve their skills. Diving in the shade of the current requires smart and careful navigation, making it essential to be guided by an experienced instructor.

The marine life at this dive site includes an impressive array of species such as eagle rays, nurse sharks, scorpionfish, real stonefish, mackerel, large moray eels, honeycomb moray eels, shrimp, and longnose hawkfish.
