Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Baros Thila offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Baros Thila sits comfortably in the North Malé Atoll, a nice, easy dive that’s perfect for stretching your fins. We find it’s a good spot for newer divers, with a gentle slope down to about 20 meters. You’ll drift past plenty of anemones here, each home to its own community of clownfish. Look closer among the corals, and you’ll often find some smaller reef sharks cruising by, nothing too big, just a relaxed patrol. It's a pleasant dive, not too challenging, great for getting comfortable with the Maldivian currents.
