DivePoint Meedhupparu runs the local boat dives and uses Thavatha as the fallback site when conditions turn.
A sheltered basin shape and resort boat access make this a practical fallback dive for orientation, training, and macro scouting.
About Thavatha
Thavatha is a sheltered Maldives boat dive with a basin-like shape that makes it useful when north-driven current and waves shut down nearby sites. It is used for orientation and training, while the sandy bottom and small overhangs hold macro life, morays, rays, boxfish, pufferfish, and occasional manta encounters. It works best as a slow, close-formation dive where the plan is to stay compact, scan the overhangs, and treat the site as a calm-water fallback rather than a high-energy reef.
