Diving Hints and Currents:

Fish Head, or Mushi Mas Mingili is every diver’s favourite dive and one of the most prominent dive sites in Maldives.  Famous for populations of Grey Reef Sharks, White Tip Reef Sharks, Napoleon Wrasse and many other pelagic, this used to be a shark feeding site until the government declared it a Protected Marine Area and banned shark feeding. Simply put, the fish life at Fish Head is excellent and also includes Trevallies, Jacks and Tuna. If the current is not too strong a complete circle can be made in one dive. A surface balloon is necessary at Fish Head.
