Why dive here
With 98+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Himandhoo Thila offers some of Rasdhoo Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Himandhoo Thila is a solid pinnacle dive in Rasdhoo Atoll. We usually drop onto the top at around 14 meters, then drift along the reef slope as it dips to 24m. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections, and we often see schools of fusiliers and snappers swirling around the pinnacle itself. It's a relaxed dive, good for intermediate divers looking for a predictable encounter with bigger pelagics in a generally gentle current.
