About Baarah Thila

Baarah Thila is a boat dive on a broad rocky plateau in the Haa Alifu channel, where the reef blocks and drop-offs keep the site lively. The thila is known for coral cover, schooling fish, and the kind of current that can bring manta rays and other big animals overhead. It is best suited to divers who are comfortable with boat timing and moving water.

Scuba Diving

This is a boat dive for intermediate divers who are comfortable with current and blue-water edges.

Snorkelling is not the main use case because the best structure and action sit deeper and in current.
