About this dive site

This dive site features a captivating wreck situated alongside a small thila, or pinnacle, on the outskirts of Fesdhoo Island. Divers can explore the artificial reef provided by the wreck and the natural formations of the thila, navigating between the two structures. While no specific historical details of the wreck are provided, its presence adds a unique landscape and habitat for marine life. The Fesdhoo Wreck & Thila is a haven for marine biodiversity. Macro lovers will delight in the abundance of small creatures, while the site boasts beautiful, healthy corals that support a vibrant ecosystem. Large schools of fish are a common sight, and the site is notably an occasional cleaning station for majestic manta rays. The best time to visit this dive site is generally during the Maldives' dry season for optimal conditions, though manta sightings can be seasonal. Divers are recommended to use nitrox to maximize bottom time, especially when exploring both the wreck and thila. It's a fantastic spot for both macro and wide-angle photography due to the diverse marine life.
