Chapati is a boat thila with plateau, caverns, and reef life.
Chapati is a boat-access thila southwest of Medhufushi in Mulaku Atoll, with a sandy plateau on one side and caverns and overhangs on the other. The site feels like a compact reef complex, so divers move between coral heads, sheltered cuts, and open sand rather than following a single wall. Expect a guided boat dive with localized flow in the gaps and a strong mix of reef fish and macro life.
