Why Shark Point is special ?
The Shark Point is still one of the best places to spot sharks and other pelagic hunting on smaller prey while hovering in the currents. Shark Point is located in the South Male Atoll, one of 4 places sharks can be seen frequently. This dive is best with an ocean current flowing east to west. Large pelagic fish can be seen here as well as sharks and eagle rays. Explore the broken rocks and swim-through and flow with the current along the reef to the west past big trees of black coral and sea fans. It is possible to find nurse sharks resting in the shallow overhangs.
