Sharks
Sharks love the Maldives archipelago for its ideal waters and abundance of food. Whale Sharks, Reef Sharks, and Nurse Sharks are a regular sighting in these waters, with Hammerhead Sharks making an appearance once in a while. If you’re daring and up for an adventure, you can even go on a Maldives diving trip and possibly swim up close to these gentle creatures and experience the underwater world yourself. The Ari Atoll and Rasdhoo Atoll are great places to catch a sighting of the sharks, while Baa Atoll is a hotspot for seasonal Whale Shark gatherings.
