    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Ali Thila is a deep pinnacle dive in South Ari Atoll, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with potential currents. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections and schooling fusiliers further up. We've often found whitetip reef sharks resting under the overhangs. This site offers a good chance for pelagic encounters if you hit it at the right time.
