    StandoutDramatic pinnacle topography

    Dhigu Faru Kuda Thila is a good introduction to Maldivian pinnacles, especially if you’re just getting comfortable with deeper dives. At 23 metres max, it’s not too taxing. We’ve found the currents here are usually gentle, which means you can really take your time exploring the reef structure. Keep an eye out for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom and the usual suspects like snappers and fusiliers hanging out around the overhangs. It’s a nice, relaxed dive for beginners or anyone looking for a chill afternoon.
