About Fish Head (Mushimasmingili Thila)

Fish Head is one of the dive sites Visit Maldives picks out to explain the Maldivian thila: a submerged pinnacle rising from the atoll floor, where reef sharks, snappers, fusiliers and barracuda gather in the current. It is also a marine protected area. Dive it with a licensed operator and follow their briefing on currents.
