Maafushi Thila

Maafushi Thila is a solid pinnacle dive in South Malé, a spot we often suggest for its reliable fish action. Drop down onto the reef and you’ll usually find clouds of Ternate chromis, reflecting the light like scattered jewels. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the Palespot eviota darting among the corals, and the brightly patterned Bennett's pufferfish. If the current is mild, it's a relaxed drift, but even with a bit of flow, it’s a good chance to see larger schools of cardinalfish schooling near the shelter of the reef. We'd say it's a good choice for divers looking for a classic Maldivian thila experience without overwhelming currents.
