Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Embudu Thila offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Embudu Thila is a classic Maldivian pinnacle dive, standing proud from the seabed in South Malé Atoll. You’ll find schools of snappers and fusiliers swirling around the top, often with grey reef sharks cruising the deeper edges. The soft corals here can be quite colourful, especially if you catch it when the current is mild. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for that quintessential thila experience.
