Hard-coral thila north of Hurasfaru with sharks, rays, and channel current.
Hurasfaru Thila is a hard-coral channel reef north of Hurasfaru with a shallow reef top and a deeper outer drop that gives the site its thila shape. Current can run through the channel, so the dive feels more serious than a simple reef stop, but it rewards controlled buoyancy with overhangs, sharks, rays, and strong coral structure.
