Beriyan Dhekunu Thila is a submerged reef pinnacle located 1000 metres offshore in the Baa Atoll. This site is designed for intermediate divers and snorkellers, offering depths between 8 and 24 metres. The topography consists of a reef structure that supports drift diving, with visibility ranging from 15 to 30 metres. Water temperatures remain consistent between 28C and 30C throughout the year. Due to the offshore location, boat access is required. Divers should be prepared for moderate currents, which can develop into strong conditions, necessitating careful monitoring and a pre-arranged drift pick-up plan with the boat crew. Night diving is also permitted at this location.

Time your dive around the current direction rather than the clock, as Beriyan Dhekunu Thila fishes best when water is moving and pushing nutrients over the thila. Confirm current conditions with your boat crew before descending, and agree on a drift pick-up plan before you enter.
