Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks - Bobana Thila offers some of South Ari Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water sits around 29°C.
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.
