    Bodufinolhu Thila is a deep pinnacle in South Ari Atoll, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with potential currents. We usually find schools of fusiliers and snapper here, often with reef sharks patrolling the edges. Keep an eye out for grey reef sharks and the occasional eagle ray in the blue. It’s a good spot for a solid drift dive when conditions are right.
