Swimming with whale sharks in the Maldives https://spiritliveaboards.com/....blog/swimming-with-w offers an unforgettable experience. The South Ari Atoll, particularly the Maamigili Marine Protected Area, provides year-round sightings due to nutrient-rich waters attracting these gentle giants. Additionally, Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll hosts seasonal gatherings from May to October, where plankton blooms draw large numbers of whale sharks and manta rays, enhancing the snorkeling experience.
