Considered as one of the best dive sites in Male, Kandooma Thila consists of a 300m long teardrop shaped pinnacle, with incredible scenery and stunning marine life.
The west point of this Thila is known as Jack Corner and is perfect to explore when the current in outgoing. You’ll have the chance to see Barracuda, White-Tip Reef Sharks, Groupers, Trevally, and Jacks. If you’re lucky you may get a chance to see schools of Eagle Rays and Dogtooth Tuna.
At around 23m below Jack Corner, there is a small cave, which is home to Big-Eye Trevally and a number of Snapper.
Due to the current, a negative descent is usually required. The best way to end your dive is to do your safety stop at the top of the reef as you get to end your dive with a number of Turtle species.
