Description
The Hafsa Thila dive site is located at a distance of 0.8km/0.5mi from the small islet of Velidhoo located to the southwest of the island of Ukulhas, Maldives. As the name suggests, the site is a pinnacle of a coral reef that goes up to 10m/33ft from the seabed and goes down to more than 30m/98ft deep. Hafsa Thila is known to be a dive site that is exceptionally rich in marine life, where shoals of almost all the regional fish species perform their beautiful dances. It is also known that this spot serves as a cleaning station for sharks getting their mouths cleaned by small cleaner fish. The scenery of the dive site resembles a big fish parade where gray reef sharks are the kings. At the shallow depth of 10-14m/33-45ft divers will see the regular coral reef seascape with lots of little reef critters occupied with their daily routines. Due to the strong currents often occurring at the site, diving at Hafsa Thila is only recommended for advanced divers.
