About Kudathulhaadhoo Thila
Kudathulhaadhoo Thila is a Raa Atoll boat dive with a channel-side profile, overhangs, and a plateau of boulder coral. The site is known for sharks, rays, and schooling fish as much as for its coral growth, so it rewards a steady pace and good buoyancy. Currents can be strong at times, making it a better fit for guided divers than for casual unguided drifting. When the water is behaving, it feels like a compact big-fish reef with plenty to scan along the edges.

Scuba Diving
This is a guided boat dive rather than a casual swim; the route is about reading the current, working the plateau, and staying comfortable around the overhangs.
