This week-long route covers the three southernmost atolls of the Maldives, Huvadhoo, Fuvahmulah and Addu, starting from Kooddoo or Gan after a 60-minute domestic flight from Malé. Around 17 dives take in deep current-fed channels, the open-ocean plateau off Fuvahmulah, and the wreck and manta sites of Addu, crossing the Equator on the way.
In Huvadhoo you hook into the reef at a channel corner and watch grey reefs, silvertips and eagle rays hold station in the flow, then let go and drift over shallow coral when the show is over. Off Fuvahmulah the seabed drops 2,000 metres to the reef, and on the 30-metre plateau tiger sharks, hammerheads and threshers come in close. Some nights a whale shark turns up behind the boat, drawn by the lights.
Trip Highlights & Key Regional Features
- Tiger sharks, hammerheads, threshers and silvertips at Fuvahmulah
