Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Vara Reethi Thila offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Vara Reethi Thila sits at a comfortable 26 metres, making it a good choice for intermediate divers looking for a solid reef dive in North Malé. We often find the current here to be a gentle push, allowing for a relaxed drift along the coral slopes. Look out for the resident schools of snapper and fusiliers, which often hang around the reef edge. It’s a pleasant dive, not overly dramatic, but consistently delivers a good cross-section of Maldivian reef life.
