Orimas Thila Dive Site — Maldives

About Orimas Thila

Also known as Shark Point in Noonu Atoll, this submerged pinnacle is one of the northern atolls' best-kept secrets. Grey reef sharks and whitetip reef sharks patrol the thila in large numbers, while the reef itself is covered in pristine hard and soft corals. Huge Napoleon wrasse, schools of snappers, and eagle rays are regularly encountered. The remote location means fewer divers and exceptional marine life density.
