PINEAPPLE THILA / ALANAASI THILA

Pineapple Thila in Dhivehi (the local language) means “Alanaasi Thila” lies 100 meters to the north of Hurasdhoo. It is popular with day trippers who combine this dive with island picnics and snorkeling. Thila has a few overhangs and an awesome collection of corals. On the north side there is a crack from 10-18m that is full of interesting corals and small marine life. The top of the reef is special as it is covered with hard corals while deeper on the sand there are huge gorgonian sea fans set against the blue.
