Vavathi Kurolhi / Christmas Tree
★★★★☆
(461)
This dive site is one of the best and most precious thilas / pinnacles in Noonu atoll. It gets its name from the fact that the pinnacles of the reef are stacked to resemble a christmas tree.
This reef is great for tiny macro species, such as nudibranchs, shrimp, crabs, and lobste,r as well as some of the larger fish species, like a school of jack fish, sharks, and turtles.
