    Anemone Thila is a nice, straightforward pinnacle dive in North Malé. It’s a good spot for beginners, topping out at 19m, making it easy to manage your air and enjoy the surroundings. We often find ourselves just floating above the thila, watching the resident clownfish dart through their anemones – they really are everywhere here. Keep an eye out for small reef sharks cruising the perimeter and maybe a stingray tucked into the sand flats nearby. It’s a relaxed dive, perfect for getting comfortable in the water and enjoying the smaller details.
