Maaya Thila Dive Site
Maaya Thila is a great dive spot if you want to see schools of Grey Reef Sharks and White Tip Reef Sharks congregate around the coral. These sharks can be seen up to as shallow as 12 meters from the reefs edge. Diving at Maaya Thila is easy when the currents are not strong, and divers can easily circle the thila. Dive guides often bring the divers to view the coral formations in deeper waters in order to view the marine life. When it comes to night diving, Maaya Thila is considered to be one of the best scuba sites in the world. With a line for quick ascent tied to a dive boat, a strobe light is attached to a rope at 5 meters for easy access to the line. During the night, divers can experience swimming close to sharks, while turtles can be found resting inside caves and overhangs. Divers can also observe as Moray Eels and White Tip Sharks hunt for their food, Fusiliers. Other marine life that can be seen at night include Octopus and Stone Fish, which are often found around the top reef.
