Dhigu Thila

The reef top is split into peaks: the outer ones rise to about 6 m and the middle one starts at about 10 m, with canyon-like gaps between them. From around 18 m vertical walls drop away with overhangs that hold gorgonians, sponges and black coral trees. When the current runs, divers drift from the up-current end and pause in the overhangs, passing a chain of pinnacles. Grey reef, whitetip and nurse sharks, eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, dogtooth tuna and mobula rays are reported. In slack water the site suits photography.
