Diving in Fuvahmulah<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

The unique location of the\u00a0island makes Fuvahmulah\u00a0one of the best diving destination\u00a0in the world. Fuvahmulah is a rock in the middle of the ocean, which plays the role of a huge\u00a0cleaning station and mating place for big pelagic like Black Oceanic Manta Birostrics, Mola Mola, Pilot whales. Fuvahmulah has ultimate set of sharks\u00a0which can be seen all year round:\u00a0Tiger Sharks,\u00a0Thresher Sharks, Hammerheads, Silver tip, Whale shark, Grey reef, White tip.\u00a0Big schools of Barracudas; Yellow-Fin Tuna,\u00a0Bonitos, Sailfishes, Marlins\u00a0and millions of reef fish surround the local reef daily.\u00a0Last El Nino, which badly affected the coral reefs in the Maldivian islands and around the world, didn\u2019t affect Fuvahmulah, we still can enjoy the beauty of coral gardens.\u00a0The quality of diving isn’t affected by seasonal changes, as happens on the rest of the Maldivian atolls. Diving here is always unique and challenging the whole year through.\u00a0There are more than 15 diving spots around the island, which have a lot of potential for underwater research.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The real underwater treasure of Fuvahmulah is Thresher Shark.\u00a0 It is been only one island in the Maldives when thresher sharks can be seen throughout the year Local reef has many cleaning stations which are extended from deep to the shallow around the island. Usually, thresher shark diving is deep, since threshers use deep cleaning stations. \u00a0However, in Fuvahmulah, in the right time thresher sharks use to come up for cleaning station at 12-15 m, and sometimes make divers happy jumping out of the water. Thresher sharks are available all year round, but can not be guaranteed everyday and every dive as tiger sharks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While missing \u00a0grey mantas Alfredi, which are common in all other Maldivian atolls, Fuvahmulah is visited by Black Oceanic Mantas. 90% of Black Oceanic encounters in the Maldives happened here in Fuvahmulah. Throughout the year we spot individuals cleaning on the reef or chilling around.\u00a0 Once a year,\u00a0 which can happen in March-April-May,\u00a0h<\/span>undreds of Black Oceanic arrive to Fuvahmulah for mating, and, definitely, in this period Fuvahmulah is the best unique destination for Black Oceanic in the world. When it exactly happen: March, April or May is difficult to predict, since the conditions fluctuate from one year to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Whale sharks are visited Fuvahmulah all year round. \u00a0The probability is higher in January-May. We use to see giants and juveniles during the dives and on the surface.\u00a0 All whale shark encounters in Fuvahmulah are new for scientific database.\u00a0 Interesting fact! Most of the whales sharks we identified in Fuvahmulah are females. Same as Tiger Sharks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Schools of Scalloped Hammerheads (Sphyrna lewini)\u00a0are common in Fuvahmulah waters. The best period of time to see the schools depends on the current conditions. Right currents mights happen in any month.\u00a0<\/span>The probability is higher in October-December, April-June. However, it is not guarantee, the conditions might be good for hammerheads in the other months as well, if we will get\u00a0 the right current.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Great hammerheads are also found in Fuvahmulah, but probability to encounter them are much less. <\/span><\/span>Dive require advanced level*.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
