Broken Rock Dive Site is not a clever alias, but rather an appropriate representation of what this dive site is, a broken rock.

The two sides of the broken rock are separated by a 2-meter wide canyon, which splits the Thila into two segments from west to east. Not surprisingly, this canyon is the main attraction of the Broken Rock Dive Site, providing countless nooks and crannies for marine flora and fauna to florish and thrive.

Diving the Broken Rock Dive Site

The Broken Rock Dive Site is better suited for advanced divers, due to its depth and strong currents, which flock in droves to this underwater wonder. Kuda Rah Thila is covered in soft corals, and only one diver can manage to shimmy through the cavernous crack at a time.

In addition to the canyon, the Broken Rock Dive Site boasts an array of caves, overhangs and innumerable coral heads.

The north side of Broken Rock Dive Site features two big coral blocks and is approximately 25-30 meters deep, whereas the top reef possesses hard coral growth, a perfect place to encounter leaf fish and nudibranchs. To the east of the Broken Rock Dive Site is another rock formation which plateaus at around 17 meters.

A dive torch and a surface balloon are both highly recommended at Broken Rock Dive Site.

Broken Rock Dive Site Marine Life

There is an abundance of fish life swimming in and around the canyon of Broken Rock Dive Site, including species such as Redmouth Grouper, Scorpion Fish, Barracuda, Clownfish and Snappers.

In addition to fish, keep an eye out for sea turtles, whale sharks and moray eels.
