Bodu Hithi Thila is one of the beautiful Thila in North Male’ Atoll. The sandy
bays on the top reef are sometimes known as ‘Manta Road’, as this is where mostly
Mantas gather for cleaning. This is a long reef with the best diving in the
southern end. On one point there is a huge cave at 17 meters where divers can
look into. On many occasions nurse sharks have bee spotted in this cave and on
the top reef underneath the blocks.
The main attraction here are the manta rays seen from December to May.
Getting a chance to have a look at these elegant creatures at close
quarters is high, and the possibility exists of sighting a whale shark.
