Rasgefaanu Thila is a submerged pinnacle in the North Male Atoll that rises from a depth of 26 metres to near the surface. The site features hard coral structures and walls with soft corals. Divers should expect variable currents that can strengthen quickly, making this an intermediate-level site requiring boat access. Visibility typically ranges between 15 and 30 metres. Due to the presence of stonefish and sharp coral edges, maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid touching the reef. Brief with the boat crew regarding current direction before descending, and consider timing the dive around slack water when conditions are most manageable.
