Furana Thila

This thila is on the edge of the submerged ocean reef between Full Moon Island and Chicken Island . It is about 150m long and stretches in to the channel. The dive is started on the outside reef of Full Moon Island when the current is going into the atoll. If the current is going out - the dive is started in the middle of the channel where the thila begins. The top of the thila is in an excellent condition, especially just before it reaches the outside reef. Hard coral in all shapes and colours and soft coral on the overhangs.

The leopard moray eels are plenty and there are huge schoals of fusiliers, unicorn fish and snapper. Along the outside reef you will find white tip reef sharks, napoleon wrasse, big dogtooth tuna and a few very large specimen of green turtle are living here too. On the large coral blocks on the top of the thila the manta rays are comming in for cleaning during manta season (end of July to beginning of December).
