About
The giant moray is the largest moray eel in the world, reaching up to 3 metres in length. In Baa Atoll, they inhabit dramatic overhangs and crevices of thila dive sites, where their large heads protrude from holes in the reef. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are not aggressive toward divers.
