Afaik sharktastic doesn’t go to Fav. I did that itinerary a few years ago and it was strobes full power all along. Reflectors can be useful if you have them

No it doesn’t. Fav is a seaplane ride away to the south. There’s a ”new” site in Male that mimics Fav, just near the harbor. So I intend to explore it after the Sharktastic trip. But I figured it will be the same ”rules of conduct” as in Fav (haven’t been to Fav, hence asking the ones who have)

Here some pictures from the dives, second pic shows the situation - my wife is the one with the white fins and approaching the position from where you can watch the sharks

Were there any restrictions on using flash / lights on the tiger dives in Fav?

By the looks of it, the first pic is definitely with flash while the others are not

Dived both sites (Fuva & Male) in June 2024. Fuva was great.

Male had very bad vissibility and no Tigers when we visited. Some dive operators even partial refused to dive there due to "strange/dangerous" behaviour of the Tigers if they ever appear.

No restrictions for use of flash on both sites. (see attached video guide made from me using flash in Fuva)

I’ll give it a shot going in with low expectations. Doing a liveaboard from Male so might as well. Looks like viz is usually pretty low and hundreds of rays that silt like crazy.

Hi,

can agree with rays on Male tiger spot. We saw not hundreds but quiet a lot of rays . Vis for Photos a nightmare. Lots of sand and stuff in the water as spot is very close to the harbour. Too many boats in/out.

Fuva is also at harbour entry but only few small boats pathing due to small village port. Vis was much better. Attachted photos with 8-15mm + Teleconverter 1,4. I think you can imagine how close the guys come close.
