HimendhooThila West, in Rasdhoo Atoll, is a decent little pinnacle dive. We find the staghorn corals here are particularly healthy, creating good shelter for smaller reef dwellers. You'll often spot little post horn squid darting between the branches, and it's a reliable spot for various conch and drupe shells if you take the time to look closely. It's a nice easy dive, a good pick for a relaxed afternoon.
