Tiger Zoo (Tiger Harbour or Tiger Port) Liveaboard Dive Site

Tiger Zoo (Tiger Harbour or Tiger Port) is a shark dive, reef dive in Gnaviyani Atoll (Fuvahmulah or Nyaviyani Atoll), best known for reliable close encounters with resident tiger sharks. The most rewarding part of the dive depends on current direction, so the exact entry point and route should be agreed during the briefing rather than copied from an earlier visit.

This is where a liveaboard can improve the dive. The cruise director can check the current, arrive before the busiest day boats where relevant, and move the dive within the itinerary if conditions are better later. On remote southern routes, a liveaboard may be the only practical way to include the site. Night diving should only be expected where the operator confirms that the reef and current are suitable after dark.

Divers should keep close to the guide, hold a controlled depth and carry a surface marker buoy. Nitrox is useful for repetitive diving when the diver is qualified and the boat supplies it. A reef hook should only be used where the operator and local rules permit it.

The site can be combined with Fuvahmulah (Foahmulah) South and Fuvahmulah (Foahmulah) South, giving the itinerary a useful change of topography or marine-life focus within the same region. Read the supporting dive-site source and compare Maldives liveaboards that may include this area.
