Filitheyo Thila, a "U"-shaped reef with depths ranging from 10 to 30 meters, experiences strong currents and is famous for its sand patch with stingrays, abundant fish schools, and numerous caves and cavities on its outer walls, where sharks, napoleons, and eagle rays are often spotted. Filitheyo Outside, in the northern part of the kandu, features coral outcrops and hosts sweetlips. Dolphin Corner, situated in the southern region near Maavaru Huraa, offers beautiful coral formations and the opportunity to observe grey reef sharks, napoleons, eagle rays, and bustling schools of fusilier and snappers during strong currents.
