    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Fushifaru Thila is a solid pinnacle dive in Baa Atoll, usually best enjoyed as a drift. The top of the thila sits around 12-14 metres, dropping to 21 metres at its deepest point. We often find schooling fusiliers here, sometimes so thick they create a shimmering wall, and it's a good spot for spotting white-tip reef sharks cruising the perimeter. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into the coral and the occasional eagle ray gliding past. It's a nice intermediate dive, especially if you like a bit of current to liven things up.
