Maaya Thila Dive Site — Maldivas

Maaya Thila dive site in Maldivas

About Maaya Thila

Um pináculo cilíndrico no Atol de Ari que se eleva de 30m para apenas 6m abaixo da superfície, coberto por deslumbrantes corais moles de todas as cores. Maaya Thila é considerado um dos melhores mergulhos noturnos das Maldivas – após o anoitecer, tubarões-de-pontas-brancas-de-recife emergem para caçar, polvos rastejam ao longo do recife e moreias gigantes patrulham as saliências. Durante o dia, espere cardumes de bodiões-orientais, pargos-de-listras-azuis e peixes-olho-de-vidro abrigando-se sob as saliências.
