Rasgefaanu Thila is a boat-access thila in North Malé Atoll.
Boat access and changing current make a local operator the practical way to dive it.
Rasgefaanu Thila, also called Kaiser Thila, is a compact thila in North Malé Atoll with a shallow top and a rounded profile that falls away on every side. The dive is more about working a small, fishy pinnacle than covering distance, so slow buoyancy control matters around the crest and slopes. It suits relaxed boat dives that reward careful scanning for macro life and reef traffic, with stonefish part of the site character.
