Fuvahmulah’s Shark Point Shines in Netflix's “All the Sharks” Premiere

Fuvahmulah’s famous Shark Point has taken center stage in the global spotlight after being featured in the premiere episode of Netflix’s brand-new series All the Sharks. The show, which debuted yesterday, dedicates its first full episode to the southern Maldivian island, showcasing its vibrant marine life and natural beauty to a worldwide audience. Known for hosting one of the largest populations of tiger sharks anywhere on the planet, Shark Point is now poised to become one of the most sought-after diving destinations in the world.

A New Wave of Global Exposure

The premiere episode of All the Sharks introduces viewers to Fuvahmulah’s stunning landscape, with sweeping shots of its palm-lined coastlines and crystal-clear beaches. The show highlights the island as one of the most visually captivating locations in the Maldives, describing its coastal charm as unmatched across the nation.

In the program, divers descend into the island’s renowned waters, capturing close-up encounters with tiger sharks — a species that has become synonymous with Fuvahmulah. The episode brings not just adrenaline-pumping visuals, but also a deeper appreciation for the ecological richness of the region.

A Proud Moment for the Local Community

Fuvahmulah City Mayor Ismail Rafeeq celebrated the feature as a major milestone in promoting the island on a global scale. In a social media post, he expressed gratitude to local dive expert Ahmed Inah, whose efforts were instrumental in bringing international recognition to the island’s diving scene.

Inah, the founder of Pelagic Divers, has over 17 years of experience guiding divers through Fuvahmulah’s waters. His reputation for offering the island’s most comprehensive diving services made him a natural choice to support the show’s production.

What is All the Sharks About?

The Netflix series All the Sharks is a six-part adventure competition where four teams of divers travel to some of the world’s top shark hotspots. Their mission is to photograph as many shark species as possible. Points are awarded based on the rarity of each species spotted, and the team with the highest score wins a $50,000 prize — all of which must be donated to a marine conservation charity of their choice.

Fuvahmulah's appearance in the opening episode firmly places the island among the world's elite shark diving locations, with the potential to transform it into a bucket-list destination for thrill-seeking divers and marine life enthusiasts.

Boost for Marine Tourism

Industry experts anticipate a surge in interest following the show’s release. With the global exposure brought by Netflix, Fuvahmulah’s marine tourism sector stands to benefit significantly from increased visitor numbers. For a community that has long prided itself on preserving and showcasing its marine biodiversity, this moment offers both recognition and opportunity.

Whether you're a seasoned diver or a curious traveler, Fuvahmulah’s Shark Point now holds a place not just on the map — but on millions of screens worldwide.
