South Ari Atoll, a kilometre north of Dhigurah Island |

The eastern side of the thila is exposed to ocean currents and
drops quickly down from 8 metres to the ocean plateau at 45
metres. The reef wall is about 400 metres long, the whole length
interspersed with caves and overhangs. Midway along the thila
on the eastern side is a fracture in the reef, starting at 15
metres and descending to 40 metres. |
| Depth
range: 8 - 30 meters. |
| Marine
life: The fracture is crowded with marine life
of all types and sizes. Check out the coral outcrops along the
wall of the thila. In the southwest monsoon make it a point
of watching out for the whale sharks that are commonly seen
here. |
| Instructor's
comment: The top of the thila is good for snorkelling,
with leather corals and lots of feeding turtles. |
