Digufaru Thila - Baa Atoll

Digufaru Thila is a solid pinnacle dive in Baa Atoll, usually best done as a drift. The thila itself isn't huge, but its exposed position means you often get some good current bringing in the bigger stuff. We’ve had encounters with grey reef sharks cruising the edges and decent schools of fusiliers here. It’s a site for intermediate divers comfortable with current, typically topping out around 23 meters. Keep an eye on your dive guide; they'll know the best line to take around the pinnacle to make the most of the prevailing conditions.
