    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Egaara Thila in Baa Atoll is a solid choice for an easy dive, especially if you're just getting comfortable with Maldivian thilas. This pinnacle tops out at about 20 meters, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile. You'll often find a decent concentration of reef fish hanging around the corals, everything from schooling snappers to the usual parrotfish munching away. It's not a site that will blow your mind with massive pelagics, but it delivers a consistently pleasant dive without any real challenges.
