Why dive here
With 98+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Rimas Thila offers some of Rasdhoo Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Rimas Thila is a solid pinnacle dive in Rasdhoo, dropping to around 24 metres. We’ve found the currents here can be a bit shifty, so it’s best for intermediate divers who are comfortable moving with a bit of flow. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks cruising off the edge and schools of fusiliers swirling around the top of the thila. It's not the biggest pinnacle in the atoll, but we've always enjoyed the consistent pelagic action and the chance to hang in the blue.
