Join us on a truly unforgettable freediving adventure in the Maldives. This retreat takes you to Fuvahmulah — an island unlike any other — for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to freedive with tiger sharks and experience some of the richest marine megafauna on the planet.
Rising from the blue waters of the equator, Fuvahmulah is a one-island atoll located in the deep south of the Maldives. Positioned on the Chagos–Laccadive volcanic ridge, its unique geography creates an environment where dramatic drop-offs, nutrient-rich currents and deep pelagic waters converge. These conditions support expansive coral reef systems and a thriving population of rare oceanic giants.
The island features a diverse range of dive and freedive locations — from a vast oceanic plateau at 50 metres to breathtaking vertical reef walls. Fuvahmulah’s pristine coral gardens sit only metres from rolling white-sand beaches, with visibility regularly exceeding 30 metres and waters plunging to more than 1000 metres just offshore. It is the kind of location freedivers dream about.
No other island in the Maldives comes close to matching Fuvahmulah’s biodiversity. Known locally as “Shark Island” and internationally as the “Galapagos of the Indian Ocean,” Fuvahmulah is home to the world’s largest resident population of tiger sharks — almost 200 individuals are regularly identified here. The island also sees seasonal appearances of Oceanic Manta Rays, along with hammerheads, thresher sharks, and an incredible variety of pelagic species.
This freedive retreat brings you face-to-face with these extraordinary animals in their natural environment.
You’ll experience the thrill and calm of sharing their world — freediving alongside tiger sharks, drifting along coral walls, and exploring deep blue water that feels endless.
Under Adam’s and our local team’s guidance, you’ll not only freedive in one of the most extraordinary marine environments on Earth, but also develop your confidence, breathwork, mindset and ocean awareness. This retreat blends depth training, blue-water diving, shark encounters, shark guiding training, meditation, and breathwork — creating a profound personal and oceanic experience.
If you’ve ever dreamed of freediving with sharks in the Maldives, immersing yourself in untouched marine life, or exploring a location that feels truly wild, Fuvahmulah is the ultimate destination.
Don’t miss the opportunity to join us in this remarkable place.
It’s a retreat that stays with you long after you leave.
