Kudarah Thila Dive Site — Maldives

About Kudarah Thila

A protected marine area in South Ari Atoll featuring one of the Maldives' most pristine thilas. The pinnacle rises from 30m to 12m and is covered in spectacular soft coral formations in deep reds and oranges. Grey reef sharks circle the thila, green sea turtles rest on the coral shelves, and dense schools of fusiliers and barracuda create a living wall of silver. A superb site for wide-angle photography.
