Our Recommendation
Fuvahmulah Atoll a tiny single-island atoll in the middle of the ocean, is the crown jewel of diving in the Maldives. The surrounding deep water provides a unique dive site that attracts pelagics and has become a tiger shark sanctuary. It’s the best place to encounter magnificent predators such as great hammerheads, silky sharks, thresher sharks, whale sharks, oceanic white tips, and large pelagic fish. The dive site is extremely challenging and deep so only experienced advanced diver should attempt the dive.
