Black Pearl Liveaboard spots leaf fish & grey reef sharks, as well as performing night dive at Maaya Thila…
After an exciting night spent BBQing and star gazing, the scuba diving began a bit later than usual the next day…
Dive to Dega Thila
Dega Thila is a unique and unusual reef formation located at Ari Atoll, offering divers a very different kind of diving experience.
Dega Thila Marine Life
Located inside Ari Atoll, and very much protected from the currents, Dega Thila is famous for its colorful nudibranchs (often casually called “sea slugs”, a non-scientific term), cleaner shrimp, frog fish and leaf fish. The coral growth of Dega Thila is healthy, consisting mainlyof sponges, soft coral, black coral bushes and many more.
Dega Thila Characteristics
Dega Thila is divided into 2 parts, and each part consists of 2 or more coral heads rising from 30 meters to 5 meters. Dives usually begin at the deeper points and end at the shallower parts of the reef.
Dive to Hafsa Thila, aka Makaru Thila
The second dive was to Hafsa Thila, also called Makaru Thila, famous for being able to spot grey reef sharks at a very close distance. Divers don’t need to dive very deep, but rather stay at the edge of the reef at about 14 to 15 meters below and observe the sharks swimming back and forth.

Maaya Thila Night Dive
Maaya Thila night dive is one of the week’s highlights, a truly unforgettable experience that you will experience on your next Maldives liveaboard holiday.
On this particular night dive, divers can see a myriad of Maldivian marine life, such as white tip reef sharks chasing their prey, moray eels hunting their next meal, turtles darting amongst caves and overhangs, and much, much more!
