Thinga Thila
Thinga Thila, meaning “Lion Seamount” in Dhivehi, is named after the impressive number of large lionfish found on the southeast side of the reef.

A favourite for photographers and explorers, the reef is home to lionfish, moray eels, several shrimp species and hundreds of bannerfish among diverse coral formations.
