Fuvahmulah is a remote single-island atoll in the deep south of the Maldives, globally famous as the Tiger Shark Capital of the World. It’s often called the “Galapagos of the Indian Ocean” for its unmatched pelagic encounters.
Depth: 5–45 m (varies by site)
Current: Mild to strong (some sites for advanced divers)
Visibility: 15–30 m
Best Season: Dec–Apr (peak tiger sharks); May–Nov (thresher sharks)
Type: Vertical wall, channel, cleaning station
Unlike typical Maldivian atolls, Fuvahmulah rises steeply from 1,000 m+ depths, creating dramatic vertical reefs that attract massive pelagic life. It’s home to a resident population of ~200 tiger sharks, with sightings on nearly every dive.
