Soamahaa Thila

This dive site, Soamahaa Thila, is a beautiful underwater pinnacle located in the Maldives, about 40 minutes sailing from Rahaa Resort. Renowned for its abundant fish life and stunning, varied corals, it is considered suitable for divers of all experience levels. As a thila, navigation typically involves exploring the reef slopes and the top of the pinnacle, often as a drift dive, following the contours of the reef to observe its vibrant ecosystem. Soamahaa Thila hosts a spectacular array of marine animals. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of fusiliers, sweetlips, snappers, groupers, and triggerfishes. Larger pelagic species are also a common sight, with sharks and turtles frequently observed patrolling the reefs. The thila itself is adorned with a diverse collection of beautiful corals, forming a rich and healthy ecosystem that supports this extensive fish population. Given its 'all levels' suitability and thriving marine life, Soamahaa Thila is an excellent destination for both scuba divers and freedivers, as well as snorkelers who can enjoy the shallower reef top. The best time to visit aligns with the generally favorable diving conditions of the Maldives, offering a fantastic experience year-round. Divers should be aware that currents can be variable around thilas and should plan their dive profile accordingly to maximize their enjoyment of this vibrant site.
