SALLEYDHOO THILA
★★★★★
(42)
Salleydhoo Thila is a lovely dive site located about 15 minutes by boat north of Le Méridien Maldives. A thila is a typical Maldivian underwater mount, but Salleydhoo Thila has an unusual topography. The southern section features two distinctive tongues descending to 20–22m.
Thousands of glassfish gather around the tongues, while surgeonfish, lobsters, scorpionfish and anemonefish add to the abundant marine life.
