About Miyaru Gaa
Miyaru Gaa is a shallow Maldivian thila known for easy shark and ray watching. The small pinnacle sits close to the surface, so it suits slow sightseeing dives and relaxed snorkeling as well as scuba. Nurse sharks and stingrays are the headline animals, with octopus, scorpionfish, and lionfish adding to the reef scene. Plan for calm, unhurried laps around the block rather than a fast current ride.
