Conte Max will take you to see amazing coral reefs and an abundance of marine life all year round on 3 dives a day. Whale sharks are seen very often, while diving or snorkelling. Felidhoo Atoll will surprise you with its huge schools of fish and larger marine life such as large schools of grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, tuna, Napoleon wrasse and many colourful reef fish. Hanifaru Bay at Baa Atoll is where you could experience a whirling feeding frenzy of manta rays. Mantas arrive in their hundreds to gorge on the nutrient rich soup during the southwest monsoon when the plankton blooms, a spectacle to behold! Be prepared for awesome apex predator encounters with thresher sharks, oceanic whitetips and tiger sharks at Fuvahmulah Island. Here you’ll dive with a variety of large predators as they hunt the abundant smaller fish. The Maldives has the world’s largest known population of reef manta rays - up to 9 in a single dive during dives at Meemu Atoll!
