Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Reethi Thila offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Reethi Thila is a solid pick for divers just getting their fins wet in the Maldives. This shallow reef drops to a comfortable 20 metres, making it easy to cruise along and take everything in. We often find schooling fusiliers here, swirling around the coral blocks, and it’s a good spot to patiently search for gobies or even a shy octopus tucked away. It’s not the most dramatic drift, but for a relaxed dive with decent visibility and a chance to spot some nice reef critters, it certainly delivers.
