Fuvahmulah, a Maldivian island paradise, is renowned for its thrilling shark encounters. Divers flock here for the chance to see majestic tiger sharks and elusive thresher sharks. But beneath the surface, another fascinating visitor cruises the deep: the oceanic whitetip shark.

Sightings of oceanic whitetip sharks in Fuvahmulah are uncommon, making them a prized encounter for experienced divers.  These sleek, oceanic predators patrol the open waters, drawn to areas with abundant prey like tuna and mahi-mahi.  If you're fortunate enough to come across one, it will likely be during a deep dive in the clear blue waters surrounding Fuvahmulah.
