Fish Tank is a boat-access North Malé Atoll site beside the fish factory and jetty, known for its ray-and-eel feeding-frenzy feel. Large stingrays gather over a sandy slope and rubble while morays and bannerfish work the leftovers, and occasional sharks can show up when conditions line up. It is a close-to-capital classic that works well as a guided dive or snorkel stop.
