About Heaven and Hell / Theefarido Thila
Heaven and Hell / Theefarido Thila is a long, narrow Maldives thila made of three separate blocks, with soft coral on the sheltered faces and overhangs that hold plenty of reef life. It is best for experienced boat divers who are comfortable planning around current and a deeper profile. Nitrox helps extend time on the structure, and the open-water side can bring tuna, eagle rays, and occasional manta encounters when conditions line up.
