    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Baarah Thila is a good spot if you’re looking for a relaxed pinnacle dive in Baa Atoll. Dropping down to about 21 metres, it's pretty straightforward, a nice one for newer divers to get comfortable with thila diving. We usually find schools of blue-striped snappers tucked into the overhangs and sometimes a few reef sharks patrolling the edges. It’s not one for big pelagic action, but we appreciate the calmer pace here.
