Deep Thila, a pinnacle site in Vaavu Atoll, offers a solid dive for those comfortable at intermediate depths. The top of the reef sits around 15m, then drops down to 29m at the sand. We usually find schooling snapper and fusiliers here, often attracting the bigger pelagics. Keep an eye out into the blue for grey reef sharks cruising by. It’s a good choice for a second dive of the day, with decent visibility typically around 20-25m.
