Kuda Rah Thila

Kudarah Thila

A small round reef in the South Ari marine protected area, known for colourful soft corals, arches and schools of snapper.

Kudarah Thila is a small reef about 40 metres in diameter, with its top 12 to 15 metres deep. Caves, arches and hanging soft corals surround it, and it is regarded as one of the most beautiful thilas in the Maldives. Schools of bluestripe snapper, jacks and turtles are common, with occasional grey reef sharks and eagle rays. Because the reef is small and currents are strong, it suits experienced divers. It lies near Kudarah resort island and is arranged by dive shops on South Ari resort islands and resident islands such as Dhigurah and Dangethi.
