Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Kudobe Thila offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Kudobe Thila sits a little deeper, topping out at 28 meters, which tends to keep some of the crowds away. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers comfortable managing their depth. We’ve found the soft corals here can be quite striking, really vibrant purples and oranges, especially if you catch it when the current is mild and they’re fully extended. You’ll usually see a good few reef sharks cruising the perimeter, along with schools of fusiliers darting around the bommies. It’s a nice steady dive, rewarding those who take their time to look closely.
