Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Maha Thila offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Maha Thila is a smaller pinnacle dive, often done as a drift. You’ll typically see schooling fusiliers, snappers, and a few reef sharks patrolling the edges. It’s a pretty standard Maldivian thila dive, good for those looking for a relaxed current experience and a solid chance at pelagics without too much effort.
