Muskuli Thila
Once you descend into the depths, prepare to be amazed by the diverse marine life that awaits you. Silvertips (rare), gray reef sharks, barracudas, tunas, mackerels, giant lobsters, longnose hawkfish, napoleons, stingrays, eagle rays, and a large school of batfish or barracudas are just a few examples of the incredible creatures you may encounter.
The thila itself boasts a small diameter of 70m, making it easy to circle twice if the current allows. However, extreme currents can also be present, rendering it impossible to reach the thila even with a negative descent. It simply doesn't make sense to attempt this dive without Nitrox! With a maximum depth of 29m and visibility reaching up to 13m, this dive site promises a thrilling and unforgettable experience for those who are up to the challenge.
