Fuvahmulah Dive School, Fuvahmulah Atoll

With over 20 known dive sites to explore and more being discovered every year, Fuvahmulah’s relatively unknown diving, unique location and isolation make it one of the Maldives’ top destinations if you are feeling a little adventurous. The regular encounters with Fuvahmulah’s resident tiger sharks have made the atoll famous in recent years and you can dive with the sharks of Tiger zoo every day. These big sharks have played an important role in the local marine environment for decades, feeding on the entrails and other fishy remains discarded by fisherman, and whilst they are in no way aggressive, the experienced guides at Fuvahmulah Dive School ensure that your encounter will be both safe, and conducted in a responsible manner.

If you are looking for other shark species, Fuvahmulah also offers close encounters with thresher sharks, a deeper water species that moves into the shallows in the dim light of early morning or dusk to visit cleaning stations on the reef. These stunning sharks are frequent visitors to several sites around the atoll - and Fuvahmulah Dive School’s guides know all about getting you in the right place at the right time. 

Depending on the season, you’ll also have a great chance of encountering hammerhead sharks, silvertip sharks, whale sharks, oceanic manta rays, big schools of barracuda, yellowfin tuna, bonitos, and even Mola mola, sailfish and whales. If you are looking for big animals, you can’t get better than Fuvahmulah!
