Why dive here
Aarah Bodu Thila is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest March, April, May.
Aarah Bodu Thila is a nice little pinnacle, particularly if you’re new to diving in the Maldives. It’s got a comfortable maximum depth of 23m, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for a relaxed dive. We've seen plenty of reef sharks cruising by, and the overhangs often shelter nurse sharks taking a snooze. It’s not one for strong currents, so you can take your time exploring the reef structure and looking for the smaller creatures hiding in the coral.
