About Sirru Thila
Sirru Thila is a compact Maldivian pinnacle with a shallow crown and steeper sides, built for current-facing diving rather than easy wandering. The reef is wrapped in coral and overhangs, and the site is known for sharks, rays, jackfish, and dense reef life on the top. Plan it as a guided boat dive for experienced divers who are comfortable reading the water and staying close to the profile.
