Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Dhigu Thila offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Dhigu Thila, in South Malé, is a solid pinnacle dive. We often find ourselves drifting over the top, scanning for passing reef sharks, though they’re not always a guarantee. What you can count on are the resident parrotfish and wrasse, like the Bandcheek, busy on the coral. It’s a good spot for some relaxed bottom time, easy enough for newer divers but still interesting enough for those of us who’ve seen a few thilas. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, pygmygobies tucking into the anemones.
