Big schools of Barracudas; Yellow-Fin Tuna, Bonitos, Sailfishes, Marlins and millions of reef fish surround the local reef daily.

The 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. There are more than 15 diving spots around the island, which have a lot of potential for underwater research.

Alopias pelagicus
The real underwater treasure of Fuvahmulah is Thresher Shark. 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. However, 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.
Black Oceanic
Black Oceanic Manta
While missing grey 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. Once a year, which can happen in March-April-May, hundreds 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.
