    At Vaavu Atoll’s Tiger Shark Point, you’re looking at a reliable encounter with tiger sharks. Operators here use bait to attract them, so expect to see several sharks circling. It's an interesting dive for photographers wanting a specific shot, but some divers might find the feeding practice a bit manufactured.
