The enigmatic island of Fuvahmulah is located in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Deep South of the Maldives. Known as The Shark Capital of Asia, it has become a global tourist hotspot for scuba divers. Over 300 tiger sharks have been identified here, making it one of the best places in the world to dive with these awesome creatures. Other headline marine animals that visit from the deep oceanic waters of the Indian Ocean - thresher sharks, hammerheads, silvertips, grey and whitetip reef sharks, whale sharks, oceanic mantas, and mola mola - are all regularly spotted here.
Packages include diving and accommodation on a full board basis at a choice of 2 different hotels, as well as return domestic flights from Male. This provides great value-for-money and a seamless, hassle-free experience with everything taken care of. Both hotels have rooftop swimming pools, TV, free wi-fi internet, and are located with easy walking distance of the Scuba Cafe where meals are served. The restaurant serves Maldivian, Indian, Chinese and international cuisine.
The dive centre is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center and offers 3 boat dives per day in the waters surrounding Fuvahmulah to see the rare species like tiger sharks and thresher sharks, all guided by experienced local experts. The center uses 2 dhoni dive boats, depending on the number of guests on each day. Nitrox is available and there are emergency facilities on each boat to always ensure diver safety. Freediving tours are also on offer for those want to encounter oceanic whitetip sharks.
Other than scuba diving, Fuvahmulah is renowned as a popular spot for surfers of all levels. There is a white sandy beach nearby, and inland lakes where many species of birds, plants and fish can be observed from paddleboards or kayaks. Big game fishing is another popular attraction. All packages include an island tour on the final full day, to utilize the 'no flying after diving' time.

Diving Details...
Fuvahmulah Scuba Club is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center, located in the heart of Fuvahmulah. It offers 3 boat dives per day all year round at the 18 named sites, including tiger shark diving at Tiger Zoo. Since the construction of the harbour in 2004, fishermen have discarded fish waste in the surrounding waters, attracting a healthy population of curious tiger sharks that come to feed. At peak times there are up to 5-10 individual sharks. The area is also active with groups of silvertip sharks, giant trevallies, and a multitude of different fish species. The dive team includes 6 instructors who will provide a detailed safety briefing on shark behaviour, and procedures prior to the dive.
