    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Bobana Thila is a deep pinnacle in South Ari Atoll, known for attracting larger pelagics. We’ve often found grey reef sharks patrolling the deeper edges, with schooling fusiliers hovering above the reef crest. The currents can get quite strong here, so it’s best suited for experienced divers comfortable with drift dives. Keep an eye out for eagle rays gliding past in the blue.
