Boat-accessed site; plan this as a guided dive with a local operator.
Kottefaru Bodu Thila is a boat-accessed thila in Raa Atoll and an easy manta dive for guided trips. The reef functions as a seasonal manta cleaning station, with soft coral on the current-swept blocks, sweetlips in the shallows, and grey reef sharks farther out on the west side. Expect a boat-based day with some current on the reef face, a roughly 35-minute transfer, and a dive that suits confident beginners who are comfortable staying close to the guide.
