Located in the deep south of the Maldives, Fuvahmulah Dive School describes itself as the ‘one and only’ choice if you are looking for a dive adventure of a lifetime exploring the ‘Galapagos of the Maldives’. Fuvahmulah Dive School is the first professional diving school based in Fuvahmulah Atoll and the only one to offer you tiger shark encounters in a safe and responsible manner. The dive school first opened its doors in January 2017 after the owners - all passionate divers - fulfilled their dream of offering adventurous divers the opportunity to explore one of the last frontiers of diving in the Maldives. The dive school is now run by a team of diving professionals who have all logged thousands of dives exploring and researching Fuvahmulah’s unique marine environment.
Fuvahmulah is the ultimate destination if you are looking for an encounter of a lifetime. No other place in the Maldives, or Asia for that matter, offers you the chance to encounter 7 types of sharks in a single day. The famous tiger sharks are the stars of the show, but you can also get up-close with thresher sharks at shallow cleaning stations, encounter schools of hammerhead sharks, spot a great hammerhead out in the blue, search for schools of silvertip sharks, grey reef sharks and whitetip reef sharks, and even encounter oceanic whitetip sharks. Whale sharks make an appearance every year and oceanic manta rays gather around the atoll every spring. In fact, Fuvahmulah may well be one of the best places in Asia if you want to dive with so many different big animals in a wild and little-dived destination.
