About Nagili Thila
Nagili Thila is a Raa Atoll drift thila made up of several coral blocks and smaller pinnacles, with overhangs and arches in the deeper section. Current can change sharply across the formation, so the dive rewards clean buoyancy and a route that follows the flow. It suits experienced divers, or newer divers who are comfortable learning in moving water.
