Diving in Fuvahmulah
A Sanctuary of Tiger Sharks
Fuvahmulah, also known as Maldives’ Shark Island, ranks as one of the Best Shark Diving destinations in the World. Since the construction of the harbor in 2004, fishermen have been discarding fish waste in the surrounding waters. This has given rise to a healthy population of curious Tiger Sharks that come up to feed.
At peak time there are up to 5 to 10 individual sharks.The atoll’s famous tiger sharks can be seen every day, but it is also home to hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks, silvertip sharks, big schools of barracudas, yellowfin tuna, bonitos and more.

Founder's Note
Hello, I am Nishi and I’m a SCUBA diver, freediver, and entrepreneur. I used to be a data scientist but the call of Mother Ocean is bigger than us all. Few key life events and hours of introspection led me to quit the corporate world and I found myself sitting on the beach with a life jacket (yes, I did not know how to swim back then)! Over the last few years I’ve been grateful to have the opportunity to launch and grow our Maldives vertical, Mad over Maldives. Me and my team are humbled by the love and support we’ve received from our wonderful customers. Oceaon is now expanding boundaries and I am elated to host you in iconic dive destinations across the world.
