Do you want to dive with Tiger Sharks, guaranteed all year round? Well you have to come to Fuvahmulah!
Fuvahmulah and its underwater world is very unique and special were you can see big pelagic fish on (almost) every dive, mainly tiger sharks! It is the largest known population of tiger sharks in the world and the only known mating site of tiger sharks and thresher sharks. As well we have a good population of Grey reef sharks, Silvertips, Barracudas and some more big species the whole year around. Out of that you can find Wale sharks, Hammerheads, Mola Mola, Oceanic White tips and Oceanic Mantas.
What makes Fuvahmulah special? Its location. Alone in the Indian Ocean and not within an atoll, there are no nearby neigh-boring islands and no shallower areas; here the coast and the high seas meet directly. On one hand, this means that the weather conditions play an important role, because due to the exposed position of the island, the waves are not slowed down but hit the island directly. Nevertheless, we have many dive sites around the island and always one side is in the shadow of the monsoon, so we decide depending on the weather. Because of the strong currents and the remoteness it is a dive area for advanced divers.
The dive center Shark Epedition offers you a unique opportunity to experience diving with tiger sharks in the Maldives. The dive guides are all born on Fuvahmulah and know the underwater world around Fuvahmulah and the local conditions very well.

The island, close to the equator, differs in several ways from the “typical” Maldives island and thus offers even experienced Maldives vacationers new impressions: Relatively large with 4.94 km², there are several villages with the appropriate infrastructure, a park as a “green lung” and an airport. Here tourists are not separated from the population, you experience Maldivian everyday life.
