About This Dive Spot
Villingilli Thila is a small underwater feature located near the island of Villingilli, positioned on the offshore plateau that leads towards the channel between Raa and Baa Atoll. Divers typically enter the water by boat and begin their dive by jumping into the blue waters to the east of the Thila, where they can drift approximately 30 meters towards the structure. As divers approach the Thila, they can ascend gradually. The site is known for strong currents, which necessitates caution. Marine life commonly observed here includes eagle rays, gray reef sharks, giant stingrays, Napoleon wrasse, and scorpionfish. During certain times of the year, manta rays may also be spotted in the area.
