Orimas Thila, also called Shark Point, lies about 5 km west of Felivaru in Noonu Atoll in the northern Maldives. The top of the thila sits near 20 m and drops into deeper water, hosting a grey reef shark cleaning station where the sharks congregate. Currents over the exposed pinnacle make it an intermediate-to-advanced dive. Shark activity is reliable across the diving season.
