Dhonfanu Thila
A pinnacle in southern Baa ringed by overhangs and drop-offs, with shifting currents around it. Its highlight is a narrow swim-through that opens into a calmer pool full of fish. Grey reef sharks, napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, tuna and fusiliers are common, and manta rays visit during the southwest monsoon.
