Keep an eye on your dive guide or divemaster for current direction signals at the start of the dive, as the current at Shewz Thila can shift and affects which way you'll drift along the wall. Staying shallower in the 2 to 10 metre range gives beginner divers more time to observe reef life without pushing deeper into stronger water movement.
