HP Reef

別名： Girifushi Thila · Rainbow Reef · Thamburudhoo Thila

The shallowest part of the thila lies at about 10 to 12 m. One side is lined with outcrops, caves and crevices, while across a narrow sand channel a large rock holds a swim-through from about 27 m up to 15 m, and a cave with a chimney rises from about 25 m to 10 m. Yellow, pink, blue and orange soft corals, black corals and gorgonian fans cover the reef, fed by the current running through the channel. Bigeye trevally, jacks, rainbow runners, barracuda and tuna school here, joined by grey reef sharks and eagle rays. A red flag flying on shore means rifle practice at a nearby army camp, and the site cannot be dived then.
