About Aarah Bodu Thila
Aarah Bodu Thila is a small Maldives thila that rewards a slow boat dive when the current is mild. The top is broken by small coral blocks, with gentler sides to the east and north and steeper edges plus small southwest overhangs. That shape makes the site easy to circle on calmer days, but it feels more exposed once the current builds. Expect reef fish, rays, sharks, and occasional pelagics.
