Experienced-only thila with strong current.
Sirru Thila is a deep Maldivian thila in Shaviyani Atoll, best suited to experienced divers. The site has overhangs on the deeper side, rich coral growth, and a current-fed reef line that can pull big fish through when the tide is moving. Expect a proper current dive rather than a relaxed reef cruise. Nitrox is recommended, and the best runs come when the tide and current line up.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Strong current, depth, and overhangs are the main risks. Nitrox is recommended, and the dive should be planned with a clear turn pressure and pickup window.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; plan the dive around the current window and the pickup plan.
Legal Notes
Treat this as an experienced-diver thila and follow local operator procedures and current checks.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Primary use case. The thila rewards experienced scuba divers with current-driven action, overhangs, and predator traffic. Nitrox is a sensible choice for longer or repeat dives.
Freediving
Not a freedive target. The current and depth make this a scuba-only thila.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the main features sit below the surface and are built around scuba profiles.
