Hafsa Thila
Hafsa Thila is a North Ari boat thila with resident shark action.
Boat access in North Ari, with a shallow reef top, current-aware descent, and a shark-heavy circuit once the group is on the pinnacle.
About Hafsa Thila
Hafsa Thila is a classic North Ari boat dive for divers who want a compact coral pinnacle with big shark payoff. The reef top stays shallow enough for a controlled drop, then falls away into a deeper thila with coral heads, open-water edges, and a route that rewards staying compact. Plan for current on the descent and a team that moves together. Grey reef sharks are the headline, with stingrays, turtles, octopus, and dense reef fish adding to the show.
