About IHI THILA
Ihi Thila is a boat-access thila in the Maldives' Lhaviyani Atoll with a shallow crest, a steeper northern edge, and a profile that rewards patient reef searching. Intermediate divers can work the overhangs and sheltered pockets for pipefish, nudibranchs, morays, lionfish, lobsters, and other small reef life while keeping an eye on the open side of the site when current is moving.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a relaxed macro dive with careful buoyancy around the overhangs and the north-side drop.

A calm-day freedive may work on the shallow crest, but the site is still primarily a scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the reef structure is more rewarding from scuba or a controlled freedive.
