Why dive here
Filladhoo 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.
Filladhoo Thila, a modest pinnacle in Baa Atoll, makes for a relaxed dive. We found the top of the thila at around 12 meters, sloping down to a sandy bottom at 22 meters. It’s a good spot for spotting white-tip reef sharks cruising the edges, and we often see moray eels peeking from the cracks. Schools of fusiliers and snappers usually hang around the upper reef. It’s an easy, gentle drift, perfect for beginners looking for a peaceful introduction to Maldivian pinnacles.
