Plongée à Fuvahmulah — Maldives
Fuvahmulah is the Maldives' most remote single-island atoll, famous for guaranteed tiger shark encounters at the harbour cleaning station. This raw, unpolished destination draws experienced divers seeking thresher sharks, oceanic mantas, and hammerheads in open-ocean conditions. Infrastructure is basic but the pelagic action is unrivaled.
