Small round reef with a deeper thila.
Anna Giri is a small rounded reef in South Malé Atoll with a deeper thila attached on the northwest side and a west-side slope that drops into small overhangs. It is a torch-friendly reef dive with black coral, hawkfish, and snapper life, and it suits divers who like slower inspection rather than a big current ride. The site is best treated as a reef-and-thila exploration with a darker interior rather than a wide-open blue-water run.

Snorkeling
The shallow reef top can suit snorkeling on calm days, though the deeper thila is the real draw.
