About This Dive Spot
Sunlight Thila consists of two small reef formations that serve as a habitat for giant manta rays, particularly from March to October. The area between the reefs features a sandy bottom that extends 60 meters, interspersed with small coral structures and a notable presence of cleaner wrasses. Surrounding the coral blocks, divers can observe schools of reef fish, turtles, and triggerfish, along with various macro marine life. The primary attraction at this site remains the gentle manta rays that frequent the area.
