Kimud Shoal

★★★★★ (26,543)

After the tresher sharks disappeared from Monad Shoal for unknown reasons and moved to the Kimud Shoal, this is now one of the best dive sites in the world to see the rare and elusive tresher sharks. These sharks normally live in the deep but regularly come here for the cleaning stations at shallower depths.

The cleaning stations bring the rare thresher sharks to this site all year round. Better than before, they are seen at 10-15 m/30-45ft and not only early morning.
