ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

• Fuvahmulah; Tiger sharks, oceanic manta and thresher sharks. Oceanic Island with incredible visibility.
• Huvadhu; Whale sharks at night, silver tips, grey reef sharks and many, many more.
• Addu Atoll; WWII wreck HMS British Loyalty and majestic manta cleaning stations.

December to March are the best times to dive the southerly Maldivian atolls and experience the shark action in these out-of-the-way dive sites between Huvadhu and Addu (Seenu) Atolls. Spend a week away from the madding crowds and dive Addu, Fuvahmulah and Huvadhu on the lookout for the Indian Ocean’s larger residents; tiger sharks, silver tips, grey reef sharks, whale sharks and many, many more.

At Huvadhu, one of the deepest lagoons in the Maldives, the currents and channels are ideal for even more shark sightings including, hopefully, whale sharks and silkies, hammerheads and grey sharks spotted most of the time.

You will dive many of the world-class channels (kandus) here including; Vilingilli, Koodoo, Nilandhoo and Mareehaa. In Fuvahmulah you can expect to meet tiger, silky, silver tip and thresher sharks on the south plateaux.
