    Ahmedbe Thila is a solid pinnacle dive in North Malé, good for when you want a relaxed dive with nice fish action. It’s not the deepest site, topping out at 24 metres, which makes it an easy run for newer divers, but there's plenty to keep you looking. We’ve often found schools of oriental sweetlips tucked into the overhangs and a good number of reef sharks patrolling the edges. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with manageable current, perfect for an afternoon cruise.
