Scuba Diving in Doragalla Thila

Location: North of Hadahaa (in front of Nilandhoo Kandu)

Exceptional abundance and variety of hard coral. Live coral coverage exceeding 100%. Beautiful formation of coral pinnacles, pillars, swim-through and canyons, with a few sandy patches. Considered by many to be the best coral garden in the Maldives.

Coral life: Exceptionally healthy and expansive corals.

Marine life: Napoleon wrasse, scorpion fish, lion fish, robust ghost pipefish, bent stick pipefish, garden eels, nudibranchs, turtles and feather tail stingrays are often sighted.

Dive technique: The most common technique is to start from the thila and explore through the coral garden. Toward the end of the dive, move to the sandy patches and look for pipefish and nudibranchs.

Experience level: Any level
