Fish Head (Mushimasmingili Thila) Dive Site — Maldives

About Fish Head (Mushimasmingili Thila)

The legendary "Fish Head" is a submerged pinnacle rising from 40m to 10m in Ari Atoll, surrounded by deep blue water. Grey reef sharks circle the thila in large numbers, while massive Napoleon wrasse approach divers fearlessly. Schools of bluefin trevally, fusiliers, and barracuda swirl around the pinnacle, and whitetip reef sharks rest in the overhangs. Strong currents make this an electrifying dive for experienced divers.
