The Tigers

At Localture, The Tigers takes you to Fuvahmulah, a remote southern island of the Maldives renowned for its tiger shark encounters. Tiger sharks are one of the ocean’s most recognisable predators, and Fuvahmulah is one of the rare places where divers can regularly encounter them in their natural environment. The island’s unique position in the deep Indian Ocean, with deep water surrounding its shores, brings an incredible amount of pelagic life close to the island. Fuvahmulah is a place where the possibility of seeing a tiger shark is part of what makes every dive exciting. With the island sitting in the open ocean, encounters can happen in clear blue water and at close range, giving you the chance to see these incredible animals in their natural environment. It is this combination of the island, the deep ocean and the presence of tiger sharks that draws divers from around the world to Fuvahmulah. And while the tigers are the main attraction, they are far from the only ones. Fuvahmulah is also known for encounters with hammerheads, thresher sharks, whale sharks, oceanic manta rays and other pelagic species. What you see can change from dive to dive, which is part of what makes diving here so exciting. The Tigers brings you into the waters of Fuvahmulah, where every dive offers the possibility of encountering the island’s most famous residents and discovering what else lies beneath the surface.
