Diving Hints and Currents:

Okobe Thila is one of the most uniquely shaped Thilas in the North Male Atoll and it comprises three large coral heads. Usually the boat is fixed to the mooring on the dive site and divers use the mooring as both the descent and ascent line. Once divers reach the end of the line at Okobe Thila, they start swimming towards the up-current. If the current allows, divers can zigzag from one coral head to the other while observing the fish life, which commonly includes Eagle Rays, Jacks, Tuna, Napoleon Wrasse and Bannerfish.  A surface balloon is a must to dive at Okobe Thila.
