Boduhiti Thila

★★★★☆ (497)

Bodu Hithi Thila is one of North Malé Atoll’s most celebrated seasonal manta ray dive sites, located in the famous Bodu Hithi Channel. Two submerged pinnacles rise to around 7m before sloping to 30m on the western side. A renowned manta cleaning station at 25m attracts countless Manta Rays from December to April.

Healthy hard coral reefs provide habitat for turtles, whitetip reef sharks, snappers and fusiliers. All year round reef life is a class of its own, with Mantas as a seasonal highlight.
