Best Times to Dive Maya Thila
The best diving conditions at Maya Thila generally occur from December to May, when the northeast monsoon brings calmer seas and excellent visibility. For shark enthusiasts, early mornings offer thrilling encounters, while night dives are particularly popular for witnessing the site’s nocturnal marine life. Be mindful of current conditions and plan your dives accordingly, as stronger currents often attract more pelagic fish but may require greater diving experience
Who Should Dive Here?
