Why dive here
Bodu Thila is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Bodu Thila is a deep pinnacle in Baa Atoll, dropping to 26 metres. We often find schools of fusiliers here, swirling around the deeper sections. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers comfortable with depth, particularly if you’re hoping to find reef sharks cruising past. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the coral blocks too.
