Join the Discoversharks team as we explore Fuvahmulah, known as Shark Island of the Maldives. This beautiful island is one of the best shark diving destinations in the World. Located in the Southern Hemisphere of the Maldives, there are incredibly unique geographical features and an endless sea of Pelagic Life year round like the resident Tiger Sharks. The island's unique underwater topography has a submerged reef extending deep towards the ocean floor. This makes the island and its surrounding waters home to a rare combination of pelagic life such as Thresher Sharks, Oceanic Mantas, Whale sharks, and giant schools of fish less commonly seen elsewhere in the country. The island is most famous for its resident Tiger Sharks that can be observed everyday of the year. We will be Diving 3 times per day as we hope to experience all the wildlife the Maldives has to offer.
We will also help to expand the data base of Pelagic Dive Fuvamulah by reporting our encounters. Participation in this expedition will help support the conservation work of “Save the sea Turtles International” and other small businesses that focus on ocean conservation and sustainable products.
