Highlights

  • Unique one-way itinerary linking Fuvahmulah and Huvadhoo
  • Hammerheads, bull sharks, silky sharks, grey reef sharks and silvertips
  • Near-guaranteed tiger shark encounters at Fuvahmulah Atoll
  • Chance of threshers, oceanic mantas, and whale sharks
  • Night dive included in the schedule
Day 1:
Arrival at Fuvahmulah airport on a domestic flight from Male. 

Days 2-7:
Dives in Fuvahmulah are most definitely reserved for expert divers. In cooperation with Fuvahmulah Dreams Diving Center, you will be taken to the famous Tiger Zoo to dive with tiger sharks and other sites in search of threshers, silvertips, and more.

Leaving Fuvahmulah, we get to Huvadhoo. Despite its great dimensions, much of Huvadhoo’s best diving is located along the eastern edge and its various channels. It is also possible to watch the whale shark at night—and most times more than one specimen at a time! Once again our crew will mount the stern lighting, hoping for these gentle giants to visit with us for a midnight snack.

Day 8:
Check out and board a return flight to Male from Kooddoo Airport in Huvadhoo.

Sample itineraries are for guidance only. Actual itineraries may differ slightly due to factors such as weather, wildlife, logistics and local regulations.
