This dive site, Kudobe Thila, is a prominent underwater pinnacle in the Maldives. Its top reef sits at 15 meters, featuring a dramatic north side dropping steeply beyond 50 meters, contrasted by a gentler sloping south side. Situated in a channel, navigating this Thila often requires experience due to variable currents, making each dive dynamic.
Divers can expect to encounter an abundance of marine life, including vast schools of blue-striped yellow snappers, fusiliers, and humpback snappers. The presence of the right currents also attracts larger pelagic species, promising thrilling encounters with big fish and potential sharks or rays.
Optimal diving conditions are heavily influenced by the currents, which bring in the nutrient-rich water attracting the larger marine life. This site is highly recommended for advanced divers seeking exhilarating drift dives and vibrant pelagic action, but current awareness is paramount.
