Nurse shark snorkeling near Rasdhoo or Thoddoo: is a separate tour worth booking, and how crowded is it?

Thoddoo has a dive center, and local dive boats also visit the island’s snorkeling reef. Confirm its current routes and whether nurse shark stops are included directly with the center.

On a nurse shark outing from Thoddoo, each boat had its own group: sharks were fed near the boats and guests swam with the people from their own vessel. Groups may not mix much, although several boats can still be at the site.

If your yacht itinerary already includes a nurse shark stop, you may not need to buy a separate excursion; you can snorkel with the group from your own yacht.

Do not treat a nurse shark encounter as guaranteed: one group on a tour did not see any sharks, while the following group did. Keep a backup day in your itinerary if this is a priority.
