About Shark Heaven Fuvahmulah
Discover the story behind the world's premier tiger shark diving destination in the Maldives
Our Story
Shark Heaven Fuvahmulah pioneered tiger shark diving in the Maldives, beginning formal operations in 2016. As the first registered local dive school on the island, we developed the renowned "Tiger's Zoo" dive site and have been instrumental in transforming Fuvahmulah from a virtually unknown diving destination to one of the world's premier locations for shark encounters.
Since our founding, we've grown to become a 5-star PADI certified dive center, receiving SSI certification in 2017 and PADI approval in late 2017. Our deep commitment to shark conservation, research, and sustainable diving practices has established us as leaders in responsible shark tourism.
Today, we proudly welcome divers from around the world to experience the thrill of diving with tiger sharks, thresher sharks, and other pelagic species in their natural habitat without cages or feeding practices.
