Fuvahmulah Island is located at the southernmost tip of the Maldives, near the equator, and is one of the few wild tiger shark observation sites in Asia. Fuvahmulah is a tuna processing center where fishermen dump fish waste in the water outside the harbour, attracting tiger sharks to stay there. There is almost a 99% guarantee that wild tiger sharks can be seen here. The difficulty of diving is not high, and there is a platform about 6-7 meters underwater where even novice divers can see tiger sharks. In addition, Fuvahmulah also has other rich marine life and dive sites, such as MANTA groups, thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks, etc., providing diving enthusiasts with a wide variety of choices. Whether you are a novice diver or an experienced diver, you can find a suitable dive spot on Fuvahmulah and enjoy the fun of diving.
