Why dive here
Vandhoo 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.
Vandhoo Thila is a nice, straightforward pinnacle dive in Baa Atoll, a solid choice for an afternoon bob around. You'll find it tops out at around 25m, making it very accessible for newer divers or those who just want to take it easy. We often see schools of yellowback fusiliers hanging out, and if you keep an eye on the sandy patches, you might spot a garden eel swaying gently. It’s a good spot to relax, enjoy the general reef activity, and warm up for some of Baa’s more energetic sites.
