About This Dive Spot
Merikafalhu, also known as Tiger Point, is a dive site where divers can encounter a resident population of tiger sharks, attracted by fish remains discarded near the harbor. The dive typically reaches depths of 10 to 11 meters (30 to 40 feet), allowing divers to settle on the seabed for up to 30 minutes. During this time, tiger sharks and other large marine life, such as rays, moray eels, and groupers, are observed focusing on fish heads placed among the rocks. After the feeding activity, the sharks tend to move more freely around the divers, providing an intense and memorable experience. Access to the site is via boat.
