Dive-site story
Shark Tank is a celebrated, high-energy dive site located off the coast near the local fish processing facilities in North Malé Atoll. Scraps discarded into the harbor channel attract massive concentrations of marine megafauna, creating close encounters over a sloping sand and rubble seabed.
Regular aggregations of multiple shark species, including tiger sharks and bull sharks
Dense clusters of giant morays and honeycomb morays sheltering in harbor breakwaters
Large schools of stingrays and guitarfish feeding over sandy clearings
