    Hafsa Thila gives you a classic Maldivian pinnacle dive. It’s a busy spot, especially if you’re hoping for sharks – we’ve often found grey reefs circling in the deeper sections, particularly early in the morning. The thila itself is pretty, with plenty of soft corals catching the current and housing a good mix of reef fish like checkerboard wrasse and orange-lined triggerfish. Look closely for the smaller stuff too, we’ve spotted mimic blennies peeking out of the rockwork. It’s a good one for experienced divers who appreciate a bit of current and aren't afraid to hang out and watch the action unfold.
