Dive the Maldives, twice.
رحلة ناتلس إلى المالديف 2027
26 January – 5 February 2027 · Fulidhoo & Fuvahmulah · Book one trip or both
The expedition
Two islands. Two completely different sides of the Maldives.
Start in Fulidhoo, where laid-back island life meets the current-swept channels and reefs of Vaavu Atoll. Expect colourful reef diving, rays, nurse sharks and some of the Maldives' most memorable underwater encounters.
Then travel south to Fuvahmulah — a remote, one-island atoll surrounded by deep ocean and famous for big-animal diving. Tiger sharks are the headline, with the possibility of thresher sharks, hammerheads and other pelagic visitors.
Choose one 5-night adventure or combine both for 10 nights of diving across two very different Maldivian destinations.
26 – 31 January 2027
Trip 1 · Fulidhoo Island
Fulidhoo combines the relaxed atmosphere of a small Maldivian island with access to some of Vaavu Atoll's best-known reefs, channels and shark diving.
Days are built around the tides and conditions, giving us the flexibility to choose the best diving available. Expect current-swept channels, healthy reefs, rays, nurse sharks and the possibility of larger pelagic encounters along the way.
For divers who want the classic Maldives experience — beautiful reefs, exciting drifts and plenty of marine life — this is the perfect first half of the expedition.
- Nurse sharks & ray encounters
- Channel and drift diving
- Reefs packed with Maldivian marine life
- Relaxed local-island experience

Trip 2 · Fuvahmulah Island
Welcome to one of the Maldives' most extraordinary diving destinations.
Fuvahmulah is a remote, single-island atoll rising from the deep Indian Ocean, creating the conditions for encounters with some of the ocean's most impressive predators.
Tiger sharks are the star of the show, but the waters around Fuvahmulah can also bring thresher sharks, hammerheads, rays and other pelagic species. Every dive has the potential to be different.
This is the more adventurous half of the expedition, created for divers who want big animals, blue water and the unexpected.
- Tiger shark dives at the famous Tiger Zoo
- Chance of thresher and hammerhead encounters
- Pelagic and blue-water diving
- A completely different Maldives experience
