You'll get to know these often misunderstood ocean creatures, and learn how we can protect their ecosystem. There's no better way to disperse the stigma that surrounds the ocean's greatest fish than diving right in, getting close and personal, and understanding their patterns and behaviours.

Alongside daily dives and explorations with these elegant animals, you'll also enjoy ocean talks from local NGOs' guest speakers, PADI Specialty courses, and entertainment. You'll arrive with a soft spot for sharks, and leave knowing them inside out.

The focal point of this expedition will be channel dives alongside pelagic megafauna. As April currents are not the strongest, the itinerary provides exhilarating shark cleaning station experiences and deep water encounters.

Of an evening, you'll jump in for a spectacular night dive with our curious nurse sharks and stingrays - residents of the famous Alimatha Jetty.

Moving further south we will then focus mainly on blue water dives on the eastern side of the atolls, where you can try your luck with hammerhead shark encounters.

You'll spend one full day in a South Ari Marine Protected Area, the home of the planet's biggest fish, whale sharks and also countless manta cleaning stations.

We finish the week with some of the must-dives of North Ari Atoll, before cruising back to Male.
