Yes and the sharks GT's and other tuna come to that spot looking for food. They are not hand feeding so sharks are not looking to get food from divers. Although the divers are placed on the ground they are not looking behind them as tigers cruise overhead quite close from behind to get to the tuna heads.

The fun part of the dives is actually leaving the Tiger Zoo site to get back to the boat and sometimes you have 15 tigers circling around at different depths. Just need to pay attention. A german diver in my group didn't check his six but the guide and myself did. At least he got a nice vacation video of it.

I probably wont go back to Fuvahmulah again. But I will do a 40 dive trip in Male with Raajie Divers with two other dive buddies next year. We found a nice three bedroom apartment that makes it affordable and my buddies like the fact I cook breakfast and dinner. We do eat out sometimes and there are some good Indian and other restaurants around.

Nobody has to dive the Shark Tank in Male or Tiger Zoo in Fuvahmulah. In Male we had a group of lasses from the Philipppines and they were really excited to dive the shark tank. They had a blast and that's why these dive sites will always be attracting attention. If the off diver gets nibbled on then the you tube videos get a lot of clicks.

Of course a good photo of a 4.5m pregnant tiger is all one needs. Especially when the visibility is less than 10m.



Incredible footage; we were in the Maldives in May 2024 and a tiger cruised on by Hulhumale. We did Tiger Zoo last August, one tiger whacked me in the face with it's tail

Thanks. Yeah I've been whacked by a tail as well. This last trip the guides realized I have done a lot of shark dives and were happy to let me stay above and behind the divers. We had one large group of 15 divers joing and for me really just too cramped. Lot's of fun doing that and there are times you need to push the Tigers and guide them away from divers. The tigers will swing around and come close so you need to pay attention. Watch to the end. At least the tigers are not hand fed so they are not coming to divers searching for a hand out.
