Maavaru Thila

  • 141

Maavaru Thila is made up of 2 different thilas (pinnacles) a deeper one to start the dive on and a shallower thila that is perfect to finish the dive on.

The beauty of this site is the amount of soft corals covering both thilas, the abundance of fish life, and the chance to spot a green sea turtle or two.
