Discover abundance of sharks at Hulhumale Entrance: dive experience to remember

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.
We recently had the opportunity to explore Hulhumale Entrance with Raajje Divers, a dive centre based in Male that is headed by Hussein Sobah and his experienced team of divers. Raajje Divers offers a personalised diving experience for divers, catering to their individual needs and preferences.

One of the things that stood out to us during our dive was the sheer number of sharks that we saw. From the moment we descended into the water, we were surrounded by these majestic creatures. It was truly an awe-inspiring sight to see so many different shark species swimming around us.
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.
Overall, our experience diving at Hulhumale Entrance was one that we will never forget. The abundance of shark species and the personalised diving experience provided by Raajje Divers made for a truly unforgettable diving experience. If you’re looking for a new dive point that offers the chance to see a wide variety of shark species, Hulhumale Entrance is definitely an incredible experience for shark enthusiasts.

Diving with tiger sharks in Fuvahmulah is an unforgettable experience that every adrenaline junkie should add to their bucket list. Located in the southern Maldives, Fuvahmulah is getting popular with divers as one of the best places in the world to dive with tiger sharks.
Diving spot popularly known as the tiger zoo is located just next the island’s harbour. As soon as we descended into the depths of about 10 metres above the reef top, we could see the majestic tiger sharks swimming gracefully in the distance. Our experienced dive guide carefully led us closer to the sharks, ensuring that we stayed safe at all times.

The first thing that struck me was the size of the sharks. They were much larger than I had expected, with some of them reaching up to 15 feet in length. Despite their intimidating appearance, they were surprisingly gentle and didn’t seem to be bothered by our presence.
As we followed the sharks, they seemed to be curious about us and came closer to investigate. We were able to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures, watching them swim effortlessly through the water. It was an amazing feeling to be so close to such powerful animals in their natural habitat.
One of the highlights of the dive was when we came across a group of sharks feeding on a school of fish. It was a truly incredible sight to see these predators in action, with the sharks diving down to catch their prey. Despite the intensity of the situation, we were able to observe the sharks from a safe distance, without disturbing their natural behavior.

Overall, diving with tiger sharks in Fuvahmulah was a thrilling and unforgettable experience. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for those who are looking for a unique and exciting adventure, it’s well worth it. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or just starting out, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.
In addition to the tiger sharks, there are also many other dive sites around the island with a wide variety of other marine life to be seen, including colourful coral reefs, oceanic mantas, thresher sharks, mola molas. From colorful coral reefs to schools of tropical fish, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
