Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Lhohi Kandu Tila offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Lhohi Kandu Tila is a pinnacle dive in South Malé that often gets overlooked, but it’s worth a stop if the currents are playing nice. We’ve had some good drifts here, sweeping past some substantial star and wrinkle corals. It’s not a big pelagic show, more of a macro spot if you slow down and look for it. You’ll spot the usual reef crabs like *Leptodius* species scuttling in the crevices. We’d suggest this for divers who appreciate the subtler beauty of a reef, especially those with a knack for spotting smaller critters.
