Vaadhoo thila

This dive site, Vaadhoo Thila, is a renowned deep ocean thila situated in the middle of a channel in the Maldives. The top reef begins at a depth of 10 meters, while the bottom extends dramatically down to 40 meters, adorned with vibrant coral formations. Its location in a channel often means strong currents, necessitating drift diving techniques to navigate its rich topography. Divers can expect to encounter an impressive array of marine life, including majestic Grey Reef Sharks, elusive Hammerhead Sharks, and stately Napoleons. The site is also frequented by elegant Eagle Rays, various species of Snappers and Tunas, and graceful Turtles. Different types of Trevallies are commonly observed, adding to the dynamic ecosystem. The best time to visit this thila for optimal encounters with pelagic species is typically during periods of incoming currents when nutrients are flushed through the channel. Divers should be experienced with drift diving and comfortable with deeper profiles. Freedivers with advanced skills may also find the site rewarding for encounters with larger marine life, though currents should be carefully monitored.
