In the Maldives, there are between 25 to 30 different species of sharks that inhabit the surrounding waters. Among these, there are several common species that you are most likely to encounter during your visit. These include:
Blacktip Reef Sharks – These sharks are typically found near coral reefs and feed on small schooling fish and crustaceans.
Whitetip Reef Sharks – Similar to blacktip reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks also inhabit coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in the shallow coastal waters of the Maldives.
Grey Reef Shark – The abundance of coral reefs in the Maldives makes it an ideal habitat for the grey reef shark and other species of reef sharks.
Tiger Sharks – Some parts of the Maldives have a large permanent population of tiger sharks, including the Fuhvamulah atoll, which is believed to have up to 200 adults.
Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks – With their distinctive T-shaped heads, these sharks are easily recognizable and can be found in the Maldives.
Whale Shark – The largest species of shark in the world, whale sharks are gentle giants that can grow up to 60 feet long.
Nurse Shark – Measuring around 6 feet long, nurse sharks are commonly found in tropical and subtropical waters throughout the Pacific Ocean.
Thresher Shark – Although usually found in open waters, thresher sharks can sometimes be seen close to the island of Fuvahmulah in the Maldives, where they visit a cleaning station.
Aside from these species, there are also other sharks that you may encounter, such as the zebra shark (also known as the leopard shark), the guitar shark (a type of ray), and the silky shark (commonly seen around deepwater reefs, sometimes diving to depths up to 1,600 feet).
Liveaboard diving is widely regarded as the ultimate way to experience an unforgettable diving vacation. For many seasoned divers, this type of adventure is essential for exploring remote destinations, such as Costa Rica’s Cocos Islands or The Galapagos Islands. Liveaboard charters offer the unique opportunity to explore vast areas and dive different parts of a country, such as the Maldives or Raja Ampat.
A liveaboard is a purpose-built scuba diving vessel or an existing boat that has been adapted to cater to divers. These trips typically last longer than one night, with the average duration being 7 nights. Liveaboard boats can host between 12 and 30 divers, although smaller and larger vessels are also available. Most liveaboard packages include diving, food, and drinks.
