Underwater seamount- called Thila in Maldives, top reef at 7-10 meters. Negative decent needed away from the reef if there is current. High concentration of fish on the current side.

Vilamendhoo Thila
Maldives
Just off the end of the main island reef, this thila sits on the edge of the atoll just in the channel.
