Fish Head

★★★★★ (6,240)

Fish Head Thila was formerly known for its enormous population of grey reef sharks. Now it depends on luck, season and the current to see them. The reef plate starts at about 10 meters depth and there can be currents. Fast descent required.

More current, more fish! Big schools of Fusiliers, blue striped snappers, morays, tunas, jacks, whitetip and grey reef sharks
