But if you visit Alimatha at night, you can see nurse sharks at their most active. This dive site is renowned for having a large population of sharks, with up to 100 sharks in the area at one time! It is an unmissable highlight of Maldives shark diving, and it is suitable for everyone. This site is shallow, so beginners and advanced divers can enjoy it together, though currents can sometimes be strong. Nurse sharks can be found at Alimatha all year, and you might also spot blacktip reef sharks and rays there.
