Medhu Thila is a smaller pinnacle dive, topping out at 24 metres, which makes it a good spot for newer divers to get comfortable in the Baa Atoll. We’ve found the currents here are usually pretty mild, letting you take your time exploring the reef. You’ll typically see schools of fusiliers hovering over the hard corals, and often a few reef sharks patrolling the edges. It’s a solid, straightforward dive if you’re looking for something gentle.
