Magey Modu Thila

This dive site, Magey Modu Thila, is a small pinnacle located in the Maldives, with its top at approximately 7 meters and extending down to 22 meters. It's known for its challenging currents, often requiring a negative descent to avoid being swept away from the site. There is no specific history or story provided, but its name likely refers to its local characteristics as a prominent underwater feature. Divers can expect to encounter an abundance of marine life, including large schools of fish. Frequent sightings include grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and whitetip reef sharks. The thila itself boasts re-growing stone corals in shallower parts and black corals at deeper sections. Divers should also be cautious of the scorpionfish family, which are present on the reef. The best time to visit Magey Modu Thila would be when current conditions are favorable for advanced divers experienced in drift diving and current management. Due to the strong currents and the need for negative descent, this site is not suitable for freedivers or snorkelers. Divers should be well-prepared to safely enjoy the vibrant marine ecosystem.
