About this spot
Kuda Rah Thila rises from 30m to 15m, a typical Maldives thila (pinnacle). Two large caves cut into the south side host gorgonian fans and schools of bigeyes. Currents bring grey reef sharks, jacks, and trevallies in formation around the pinnacle. Best dived as a drift, finishing on the reef wall to the east. Visibility frequently 30m+.
