Maaya Thila, North Ari Atoll
★★★★★
(6,140)
Once this dive site was on the top 10 best in the world. Due to this rating many divers dived this site and specially at night. The damage on the top of this Thila (diver error) is bad, but as from 12m acceptable. At night many giant trevally and some white tips hunting.
The deep pinnacles around the Thila are amazing with many grey reef sharks around and full of glass fish.
