Scuba Dive Sites

wpid DSM maalhos thila Scuba Dive SitesAs far as scuba dive sites go, Maalhos Thila is up there. Maalhos Thila is strictly only suitable for experienced advanced divers. The best part of this dive locations is deeper than 25-metres. It is possible to dive at Maalhos Thila both when the current is incoming and outgoing. The main attractions at Maalhos Thila are the coral heads found about 28-29 metres below the surface. There are three large coral heads and these are covered with spectacularly-coloured soft coral. Close to the coral heads, you will see Giant Sweetlips and the bottom of the channel is a resting ground for White Tip Reef Sharks. The caves and overhangs at Maalhos Thila are filled with blue color soft coral and extra cloud of yellow brought by the Blue Striped Snappers (Lutjanus Kasmira). The top of the reef displays a good diversity of hard coral and it’s worth spending sometime here before the end of the dive. A safety balloon is a must at Maalhos Thila especially when the current is running out of the Atoll.
