Lhohi Kandu Tila is a reef pinnacle in the South Male Atoll that offers a combination of wall diving and shallower reef exploration. The site reaches depths of 30 metres, with visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents and potential surge near the wall. Divers should monitor their depth closely along the drop-off. Currents can strengthen quickly, so staying near the structure is recommended. The site is suitable for both diving and snorkelling, though the deeper wall features are best experienced by divers.

Plan your dive to arrive at slack water or the early stages of an incoming current, as Lhohi Kandu Tila can push hard and positioning against the pinnacle becomes significantly easier before flow builds. Keep a close eye on your depth near the wall, as the drop-off makes it easy to drift deeper than intended.
