Plan your dive around slack water if possible, as the current at Maroshi Thila can make mid-flow diving genuinely demanding even for experienced intermediates. Brief with your divemaster about the direction of drift before you enter, so you can make the most of the pelagic action rather than spending energy fighting the water.
