Fish Head (Mushimasmingili Thila)
Mushimasmingili Thila
A classic reef dive site inside North Ari's marine protected area, known for schools of grey reef sharks, parrotfish and jacks.
Fish Head is a small undersea reef whose top lies about 10 metres deep, with its surrounding walls dropping steeply to 40 metres. Since 1995, it has been one of the Maldives' first marine protected areas. When currents are strong, grey reef sharks patrol outside the reef top. Large schools of bluestripe snapper, parrotfish and giant moray eels are common, and black coral grows in the crevices. The dive suits experienced divers, and advanced certification is recommended. Dives are arranged from dive shops on North Ari resort and resident islands, at about USD 60–120 per dive.
