Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Rasgefaanu Thila (Kaiser Thila) offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Rasgefaanu Thila, often called Kaiser Thila, offers a pleasant drift over a coral reef in North Malé. It's not the Maldives' most dramatic dive, but it's reliably good for a relaxed current ride. We often see schools of bannerfish and snappers hanging around the reef's edge, and there’s usually a few reef sharks patrolling deeper. At 27 metres max, it’s an easy run for newer divers looking to experience a classic Maldivian drift without too much effort.
