Fast-flowing oceanic channels bring the action: tiger sharks (Fuvahmulah “Tiger Zoo”), oceanic mantas, thresher and hammerhead sharks, yellowfin tuna — plus a magical whale shark night at anchor when conditions allow.
- Channel diving with medium to strong currents — drift techniques & SMB use required
