Miyaru Thila is an open-water pinnacle in Baa Atoll, Maldives, featuring a complex topography of walls, swim-throughs, and overhangs. The site ranges from 8 to 24 metres in depth, with an average of 21 metres. Due to strong currents, this site is suitable for advanced divers and requires boat access. Visibility typically spans 17 to 19 metres. The overhead environments within the swim-throughs and overhangs limit natural light, making a torch advisable. Divers should be prepared for shifting currents and use an SMB for surface signalling. Night diving is available at this location, offering a different perspective of the pinnacle structure.
