Why dive here
With 100+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Veyvah Tila offers some of South Malé Atoll's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Veyvah Tila sits comfortably in South Malé, a friendly pinnacle that's a good introduction to Maldivian diving. We often take newer divers here, or those looking for an easy second dive. Dropping to 24 meters, it's a relaxed drift around the coral blocks, keeping an eye out for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom. You’ll usually spot schools of fusiliers here, maybe a turtle munching on the corals. It’s a solid, undemanding dive, not going to blow your mind, but reliably pleasant.
