Deep South Maldives 2023
Discover the Southern part of Maldives
between Addu atoll and the Northern part of Huvadhoo atoll.
We spend two days in Addu which is famous for manta ray cleaning stations and one of the biggest wrecks explorable in Maldives: British Loyalty Ship.
From Addu we head to Fuvahmulah, and as we all know it is famous for the thrill of diving with tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks and the shy thresher shark for all the lucky divers.
Post our action packed pelagic diving in Fuvamullah plateau and tiger zoo, we head to Huvadhoo atoll.
For more experienced divers, Huvadhoo’s channels will likely be the biggest draw.
Whitetip reefs sharks, oceanic blacktips, silkies, silvertips, and schools of grey reef sharks patrol the deeper channels and drop-offs hunting for food in the current. Nurse sharks and leopard sharks can also often be found sheltering amongst the ledges and overhangs of the outer reef. It is also one of the only places in the Maldives where spinner sharks have been sighted.
