Thin Thila
Located just north of Hilton Maldives Amingiri, this dive site in the water is situated against the backdrop of a channel and lies just east of our dive site, Hulangu Kandu, in Kaafu, Maldives. Due to its strategic location, strong currents can have an impact on this site. The main attraction here is a thila with three top reefs at a depth of 3 meters, while the sandy bottom can be found at around 20 to 30 meters.
Thin Thila offers both small and big marine life, making it a diver's paradise. Despite being a channel dive site known for larger fish species, this site surprises with an abundance of macro life. You can expect to encounter nudibranchs, anemone fish, squad shrimp, sea stars, and cleaner shrimp, which have all made this reef their home. Keep a lookout in the blue waters away from the reef for hunting tunas, jack fish, and eagle rays. Additionally, the occasional white tip shark can be spotted lazing about, while sting rays can be found peacefully resting in the sand.
The coral coverage at Thin Thila is impressive, with an overall beautiful and healthy coral life. Divers will have the opportunity to swim among large groups of schooling blue striped snappers, adding to the charm of this dive site. The visibility here is around 18 meters, and the maximum depth reaches 19 meters.
Thin Thila welcomes divers of all levels, from beginners to experts, and even advanced divers who can handle strong currents. With its diverse marine life and captivating underwater scenery, this dive site in Maldives offers a memorable experience for every enthusiast.
