Dhonfan Thila

No reviews yetMaldives, South Maalhosmadulu Atoll

The nearly round thila rising up from more than 30 meter (100 ft), up to 7 meter (22 ft) depth. You if you look in the blue water you can see eagle rays, manta rays, or grey reef sharks. At the reef you will find a lot of school fish, like snapper, fusilier or a turtle. On one side of the thila is in a depth of 20 meter (65 ft) a little canyon. Sometimes the canyon is full of glass fish. Take care on your buoyancy, at the ground of the canyon are fire fish, dragon head, and if your are lucky a stone fish. The canyon is ending in a small cave, where you can swim through on to the top of the thila. Don´t forget a buoy your dive will end in the blue water. At the surface the dhoni crew will find a buoy easier than an diver. Donfan Thila is located close to Dhonfanu Island, in the Maldives Baa Atoll.
