Omadhoo Thila

In the Omadhoo channel two thilas meet, which gave the site the nickname Big Valley. Between the two thilas, large coral blocks form the landscape, and along the reef there are many overhangs with colourful hard and soft corals. The long-nose hawkfish hides in the black corals; out in the blue, napoleon wrasse, barracuda, eagle rays and white tip reef sharks are often seen, and large schools of bannerfish, snappers and fusiliers swarm above the reef top. The best time to dive the site usually runs from April to November.
