NEYFAI HAEH THILA

This beautiful dive site is situated west of Le Meridien Maldives in Lhaviyani, Maldives. With a maximum depth of 21 meters and excellent visibility, this site is suitable for divers of all levels, from beginners to experts.

The reef begins at a depth of 5 meters, adorned with rocks and hard coral blocks. Exploring the nooks and crannies beneath these formations may lead you to encounter lobsters and even a few octopuses that call this reef home. As you descend to the main thila, which drops to depths of 25 to 30 meters, you'll be greeted by stunning coral gardens abundant with vibrant marine life in the northeast.

Divers will have the opportunity to witness a spectacular array of tropical reef fish, as well as the charming nudibranches and delicate glass fish that frequently swim right in front of your mask. Don't forget to scan the rocky sections and sandy patches for the slumbering sting rays, and keep an eye out for the majestic green turtle, which is commonly spotted during dives here.

Remember, green turtles were previously hunted for their meat, so they tend to be a bit more reserved than hawksbill turtles. If you detect any movement among the coral, take a second look, as there may be a curious octopus hiding in plain sight.

Embrace the adventure and explore this captivating dive site with its diverse marine life and enchanting underwater landscapes. Whether you're a beginner, advanced diver, or an expert, this dive spot in the Maldives promises an unforgettable experience.
