Scuba Diving with Nurse Sharks at Alimatha, Vaavu Atoll - Maldives

Scuba diving with majestic Nurse Sharks at Alimatha Kandu (channel) by Alimatha Island - Vaavu Atoll in the Maldives.

This video is the best bits from two 60 minute dives at this amazing dive location which is normally dived at sunset / night. Nurse Sharks usually eat shellfish, shrimp, squid, fish and even coral, so although they are sharks they are relatively harmless (like almost all sharks). There is an abundance of them at this particular dive site (as many as 100) due to the island feeding them from the Jetty most evenings.

The footage is filmed in 4K 60FPS HDR HLG which delivers incredible results especially given the depth we were at (approx 25m), poor natural light and reasonable incoming current.

Sony A7siii Camera
