Kudarah Thila is a small protected thila in the Dhigurah/Dhigurahshu channel of South Ari Atoll, about a kilometre from Kudarah island, and one of the atoll's most celebrated dives. The reef top is around 12-15 m with coral blocks, swim-throughs and overhangs dropping to 30 m-plus. It is densely covered in soft coral and sea fans and frequented by groupers, snapper, fusiliers, trevally and reef sharks. Strong, swirling current makes it an advanced dive.
