Fuvahmulah (Gnaviyani Atoll) is one of the most unique places on Earth — a single island that constitutes an entire atoll, sitting isolated in the Indian Ocean between the Equatorial Channel and One and Half Degree Channel. Unlike other Maldivian islands surrounded by lagoons, Fuvahmulah has two remarkable freshwater lakes.
For divers, Fuvahmulah has achieved legendary status for one reason: tiger sharks. The island’s vertical walls and unique currents attract large numbers of tiger sharks, thresher sharks, and oceanic manta rays — some of the most dramatic diving in the world. A specialist dive centre here has made it globally renowned in diving circles.
