Point Thila: inside-atoll reef with holes and overhangs
Local operator required
Boat access and current-aware site handling make a local operator the normal choice.
Boat-accessed inside-atoll reef with a west-side drop-off, strong macro appeal, and a structure that suits careful scuba and torch work.
About Point Thila
Point Thila is an inside-atoll reef with a west-side drop-off, holes, and overhangs that reward torch work and close-up photography. Sponges, black corals, octopus, hawksbill turtles, schooling fish, nudibranchs, and flatworms give it a classic Maldives macro feel. It is a boat dive where careful buoyancy and a good light matter more than covering distance.
