Orimas Thila is a boat-access thila in Noonu Atoll with a reef top, ledges, channels, and coral-covered overhangs. It is known for grey reef sharks, mixed reef life, and a dive plan that must account for current. Guides usually set the team downcurrent and use hook-in points when conditions call for it, so this is best treated as a guided current dive rather than a casual sightseeing stop.
