Muskuli Thila

Welcome to our extreme dive site in Raa, Maldives! This breathtaking thila is not for the faint of heart. With its extreme currents and incredibly deep starting point of 24m, only expert divers will be able to fully appreciate its beauty. However, please understand that we can only approach this location under specific conditions. If it's possible, we'll be more than happy to discuss it with you. Keep in mind that Nitrox and deep diving capabilities are essential for this adventure.

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.

So, if you're an experienced diver seeking an extreme adventure, join us at this exclusive dive site in the Maldives. Get ready for a dive unlike anything you've experienced before.
