    Day 2

    3 dives, including a night dive if permitted by the authorities. DAYS 2 - 13 Atolls: South Male, Vaavu, Meemu, Thaa, Laamu, Huvadhu, Fuvahmulah, Addu Atoll NORTH MALE ATOLL: ​Fish Tank Directly in front of a fish factory in the North Male Atoll, large schools of stingrays gather again and again, looking for food. Mostly you can find them on a sandy slope with rubble so that you can watch the spectacle easily. You can also find all kinds of moray eels there. If you are lucky, a guitar shark or even a tiger or bull shark will appear. SOUTH MALE ATOLL: Embudu Kandu This is a famous channel between the ocean and Embudu Island. where a variety of sea life such as sharks, hump head wrasses, eagle rays, and barracudas can be explored. The current is strong, making it ideal for only experienced divers. Kandooma Thila one of the best dive sites in South Male Atoll. Long Thila, located in the middle of the channel, offers spectacular conditions to observe grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, eagle rays, big schools of jacks, and snappers both with incoming and outgoing currents. Rasdhoo atoll Guraidhoo Corner Located south of Guraidhoo Island, this is a protected site hosting many pelagic species during incoming currents. This site is a great spot to watch eagle rays, whitetip sharks, and grey reef sharks, and is especially interesting during Northeast Monsoon. VAAVU ATOLL: Miyaru Kandu Mainly grey reef sharks but also whitetip reef sharks, eagle rays, napoleons, and tunas are quite common. Outgoing current offers worse visibility but the sharks are still there. Alimatha House Reef Located on the south side of Alimatha Island resort and is considered one of the best night dives in the Maldives. Every night there is a show performed by a big number of nurse sharks, stingrays, and massive jacks. MEEMU ATOLL: Hakuraa Thila Located in the Mulee Kandu. The northeast side is full of overhangs, cavities, and caves where a variety of species such as grey reef sharks, eagle rays, sweetlips, needlefish, and trevallies can be spotted. The reef top of this site is excellent for photography as it is full of surgeon fishes, angel fish, basslets, butterflyfish, and damsels of every color. Muli Corner The reef is known as home to a lot of sharks during incoming currents but it also welcomes manta rays on a large cleaning station during outgoing currents. Entering the water with empty BCD and not wasting time on the surface is often recommended, especially with strong currents. THAA ATOLL: Whale shark point There is no specific place where diving would guarantee an encounter with a whale shark but the common practice is to use a strong light in the evening at the back platform of the boat to attract the zooplanktons which will further attract the whale sharks. Sometimes the whale shark will stay for hours, more than one visitor is also possible. ​GAAFU ALIFU ATOLL: VILLINGILI KANDU It is a channel south of the island of Villingili in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, which is known to see many grey reef sharks. The spectacle at the edge of the channel is mostly enjoyed with a reef hook. This dive site is especially interesting during the northeast monsoon and is suitable for advanced divers with good experience in currents and deep dives. KONDEY CORAL GARDEN This dive site is located south of Kondey Island. The main attraction is the beautiful coral garden, but you can also spot turtles and small fish species that live there. FUVAHMULAH: ​Tiger Zoo In front of the harbor entry of the isolated island of Fuvahmulah, we dive with a local dive center, the Tiger Zoo. Sometimes 15 or more different Tiger sharks come up from the drop-off. South Plateau Fuvahmulah It's sometimes a challenging dive in the blue depending on the currents. Everything can happen from Tiger sharks, Hammerheads, Whale sharks, etc. North Plateau Fuvahmulah Explore the beautiful and intact coral life of Fuvahmulah. ADDU ATOLL: ​Addu Manta Point: This outstanding dive site is part of Maa Kandu but is often dived specifically to see manta rays who gather at this cleaning station for a few hours in the morning when the incoming current makes conditions just right for these majestic creatures. British Loyalty Wreck: The British Loyalty has a good covering of soft corals. Many small things like Audi´s and ghost pipefish. Turtles, trevally, and many reef fish inhabit the encrusted decks, making it a fascinating place to dive. Outer Reef: Beautiful and intact coral life. Open ocean, everything is possible. Often we can encounter oceanic manta rays.
