Fish Tank

This dive site, known by several evocative names such as Fish Tank, Fish Factory, and Stingray City, is a unique underwater location in the Maldives. Its intriguing history is directly tied to a nearby fish factory, which processes seafood on the adjacent island. The factory's operations create a natural attractant for a remarkable array of marine life, leading to the high concentration of rays and moray eels that divers flock to witness. The marine ecosystem here thrives on the food source provided by the factory, making it a prime spot to observe an exceptional variety of moray eels, including giant, leopard, yellow head, sooty head, and reticulated species. Beyond the diverse morays, the site is also home to numerous stingrays, impressive black-spotted rays, and graceful mangrove rays, creating a dynamic and interactive underwater spectacle. While specific peak times are not mentioned, the Maldives generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, suggesting this site can be enjoyed at any time. For divers, especially those keen on wide-angle photography, the abundance of large, interacting animals provides fantastic opportunities. Snorkelers and freedivers will also find the relatively shallow average depth and prolific marine life highly rewarding, making it an accessible and memorable experience for all.
