Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Aiyabe Thila offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Aiyabe Thila is a classic Maldivian pinnacle dive, well-suited for drift diving in the South Ari Atoll. We usually find schools of fusiliers and snapper here, often with grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper edges. Keep an eye out for white-tip reef sharks resting under the coral blocks. It's a solid choice for divers comfortable with moderate current.
