Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Tiger Port offers some of North Malé Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, July.
Tiger Port offers a straightforward coral reef dive, dropping to around 28 metres. We often find nurse sharks resting in the overhangs here, and sometimes you'll spot a leopard shark cruising by. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed drift and an opportunity to see some of the larger, slower moving sharks.
