Experience Fuvahmulah: The Shark Capital of the Maldives

Fuvahmulah isn’t just another dive destination. It’s one of the only places in the world where you can dive with tiger sharks every single day in clear, open ocean conditions. But that’s only part of the story. This island sits completely on its own in the deep Indian Ocean, and because nothing shelters it, all kinds of pelagic life pass right by its reefs. Alongside the tiger sharks, you may encounter hammerheads, thresher sharks, oceanic manta rays, whale sharks and a wide range of other species that make this place so unique.

Tycho Boomsma

Expedition Host and Marine Biologist

My connection with the ocean started early. When I was fifteen, I earned my first diving certification, but even before that I was already fascinated by life underwater. As a kid, I could spend hours watching fish, snorkeling whenever I could, completely drawn to what was happening beneath the surface.
