Hi all?
I am going to maldive on late january. Any dive/snorkling spot to see whaleshark during january? I am not going with LOB so dive spot that can be reachable by day boat dive trip is the one I'm looking for.

Hi Coralgirl. I would suggest you visit South Ari Atoll where whale sharks (and manta) are prevalent that time of year (December through April).

Here is a list of resort in that area from Tripadvisor: South Ari Atoll Hotels: Compare 17 Hotels in South Ari Atoll, with 5,868 Reviews | TripAdvisor
 
We have been seeing whalesharks consistently in the past weeks at the South Ari Atoll Whale Shark point! Definitely a good spot and a good time to come. All the resorts in the area do day trips, I believe. I am based at Conrad.
