Maaya Thila is one of the Maldives’ best sites to perform a night dive.

The dive boat is usually fixed to the mooring and a line is used during the ascent and descent (for safety reasons).  A strobe light is attached to the rope at 5 meters to identify the rope underwater.

On the Maaya Thila night dive, divers can spot turtles resting inside caves while moray eels and white tip sharks hunt the vulnerable fusiliers. Octopus and stone fish can be found around the top reef. The caves where the crevices are found are the ideal place for people who are interested in macro photography. Here you will find cleaner shrimps, ghost pipe fish and many more seldom-seen species.

The Maaya Thila night dive is a must for all scuba divers visiting the Maldives and is a one-of-a-kind dive.
