Site type

Thila

Depth

6–30 m

Atoll

Alif Dhaalu Atoll

Conditions

Current is highly changeable: in little or no current the site can suit all diver levels, but conditions are often unstable/unpredictable and it is then unsuitable for novice-level divers, so crew judgment on the day matters.

Marine life

Famous as a night-dive site for actively hunting whitetip reef sharks; by day and night also hosts grey reef sharks (sometimes numbering into the teens), turtles, moray eels, stingrays, frogfish, teira batfish and blue-faced angelfish.
