About Chapati Tilas
Chapati Tilas is an intermediate Meemu Atoll boat dive built around a sloping reef, a sandy plateau, and several small thilas rising off the bottom. The terrain mixes coral structure with open sand and a deeper outer edge, so the route works best as a measured circuit or drift depending on the day. It suits divers who want reef shape, blue-water moments, and a site that rewards steady buoyancy and current awareness.
