    Fanhamas Thila, in North Malé Atoll, presents a good example of a Maldivian pinnacle dive. The site sees consistent current, which makes for plenty of action around the top of the thila. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper edges, alongside schools of snapper and fusiliers moving with the flow. It’s a solid drift dive, suitable for divers comfortable in current.
