Hulhumale Entrance, also known as Foah-Male, is quickly becoming a popular destination for shark divers. This dive point, located in the Maldives, is known for its abundance of shark species, including tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, spinner sharks, and grey reef sharks. In addition to the sharks, divers can also spot more than a hundred stingrays swimming around the area.

The dive point was created by the dumping of fish guts from a nearby fish factory, which attracted a variety of marine life to the area. The depth at Hulhumale Entrance is around 25-30 metres, making it a suitable location for experienced divers. However, the underwater visibility is not always the best due to the number of boat movements in the area.

In addition to the sharks, we also had the opportunity to spot a variety of other marine life, such as stingrays, schools of fish, and various types of coral. The diversity of the underwater world at Hulhumale Entrance is truly remarkable.

The abundance of shark species and the personalised diving experience provided by Raajje Divers made for a truly unforgettable diving experience.
