Boat access and dive-center support are the normal way to reach the site.
Neygey Thila is a sheltered North Malé thila north of Amingiri, protected by a faru between two channels. The site is known for its overhangs and compact reef profile, making it a comfortable boat dive for divers who want a classic Maldivian thila without a lot of current stress. It works well as a scenic dive with enough structure to reward slow searching along the reef.
