MUST VISIT SITES
KOTTEFARU THILA
Level: Advanced Open Water
Distance from Joali Being: 20 minutes by dhoni
This dive site is located on the atoll’s eastern side and consists of a large pinnacle with overhangs. Here you can see clouds of four-line snapper and fusilier being chased by dogtooth tuna and blue trevallies. In the shallow part, juvenile reef fish are usually chased by snappers and jackfish. Stingrays are resting in the overhangs, surrounded by soft corals and sea fans. In the small caves, it is easy to find brown marbled and black saddled groupers. Divers can also find schools of sweetlips, mackerels, and larger groupers. From June to November, the thila serves as a cleaning station for manta rays.
