MNDF officials admitted rescue divers use normal air and accept “a little bit of risk” due to lack of technical diving equipment and training. Minister Ihsan confirmed the lost rescue diver carried out a 70m recovery dive an extremely high-risk operation without proper tech dive
@hdcmaldives Using small bait fish nets in the sea channel to stop debris is not a sustainable solution. It can harm marine life and create more issues long term. Better to consult marine experts and address the main debris source near the WAMCO waste loading bay instead.

As long as dive operators, excursion providers, & influencers continue feeding and chumming, and fish waste is deliberately supplied or dumped at sites, this man-made frenzy will continue and safety will remain compromised.
We have actively altered shark behaviour.
Oceanic species that once hunted in the open are now being pulled into inner reefs and lagoons, conditioned to associate boats and people with food.
The choice is simple: enforce a ban and stop this now, or continue to ignore it and accept responsibility when serious injuries or fatalities become inevitable.

🚨@presidencymv@MMuizzu
Reopening gulper shark fisheries disregards the advice of over 50 Scientists a decision that undermines evidence based policy and the Maldives’ global reputation.
You are about to target a Critically Endangered species listed by @IUCN and risk 15 years of Shark Sanctuary Status.
Science and sustainability must guide national policy!🇲🇻
@presidencymv@MMuizzu If you approve this, it risks legitimizing the already active black market for shark and rays products making illegal trade easier to disguise as “legal” catch.A dangerous step backward.This is just a ticket for loopholes and shady business to operate,nothing good will come out of this!
Let’s not jeopardize our dive and tourism fairs Tourism earns billions annually it’s the lifeline that keeps the Maldives afloat.

The Maldives is one of only seventeen shark sanctuaries in the world and will lose its internationally recognised status, gained when all shark fishing was banned in 2010 and trade in 2011.

PADI and the PADI AWARE Foundation have written to President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu urging the Maldives to uphold its shark sanctuary and stop plans to reopen gulper shark fisheries. @PADI@padiaware@presidencymv@MMuizzu@MoTmv@Thoriqibrahim

Allowing a targeted fishery for Gulper Sharks would be a major setback for the Maldives. One of the world’s last Shark Sanctuaries.
Saying yes means opening the door to legal shark fishing again.
