Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Thinga Thila offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Thinga Thila is a nice, relaxed reef dive, easy to navigate in North Malé. We've often found it's a good spot for newer divers to get comfortable with the Indian Ocean’s rhythm, since the currents here are usually pretty mild. The reef itself drops to a gentle 21 meters, scattered with healthy soft corals that sway with the surge. You'll likely spot plenty of fusiliers zipping around, a few reef sharks patrolling the perimeter, and we’ve had good luck with turtles napping on ledges. It’s not an adrenaline rush, but it’s consistently enjoyable.
