Lhaviyani guide confirming national-park context and year-round marine life.

Nemo Thila is a protected Lhaviyani thila with dense fish life and anemones.
Nemo Thila is a protected boat dive in Lhaviyani Atoll with a vivid reef crest, overhangs, and terraces packed with anemones, juvenile fish, and small sardines. The site rewards a slow circuit more than a fast pass, with blue-striped snappers, sharks, and other schooling life keeping the reef busy. Plan it as a guided day for divers comfortable with a live boat plan and changing water movement.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
12m+
Depth Note
Reef top reported around 12m; deeper relief is implied by the thila profile but not pinned to a published site-wide max.
Best Season
Year-round, with calm boat windows preferred.
Typical Conditions
Colorful protected thila with dense fish life, anemones, overhangs, and terraces. Water movement is part of the day’s plan, so let the guide pick the calmest workable window.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Follow the guide’s park and boat procedures, and do not assume the reef offers shelter if surface conditions build.

Located inside a national park; access may be regulated.
Legal Notes
Protected national-park site; follow operator and park regulations before and during the dive.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Slow guided circuit over a colorful thila with overhangs, terraces, anemone gardens, and active fish traffic rather than a single dramatic drop-off.
Freediving
Scuba is the practical fit. Freediving only makes sense for very experienced breath-hold divers on a guided plan.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel target; the reef top sits deeper than a normal snorkel comfort zone, so surface viewing is limited.
