Being one of the finest locations in the ecosphere for hanging out with whale sharks, Maldives attracts a lot of divers from around the globe. At the South Ari Atoll, you'll have to visit the Sun Island for a blissful experience with the whale sharks. With a plateau of 5-10 metres, it is quite easy to locate the whale sharks in these shallow reefs. No prior scuba diving experience is required, so it is perfect for first timers too. The best times to see whale sharks, which is the featured creature at this reef, would be during full moon nights.
