About this site
Fuvahmulah is a single, isolated atoll island in the far south of the Maldives, sitting in open ocean away from the rest of the archipelago in Gnaviyani Atoll. The surrounding deep water and lack of a sheltering atoll ring make it known for close encounters with tiger sharks and thresher sharks, drawing divers specifically for shark diving rather than for reef scenery. Fuvahmulah South itself runs to a maximum depth of around 20 metres and is rated an intermediate dive. Boat access is typically arranged from the island, with charter operations built around scheduled shark dives.
