Scuba Diving
Explore Underwater Life
Maldives diving allows you to explore its famous underwater marine beauty. It is this separate dream world under the Maldives waters that attract thousands of people from all over the world to dive and snorkel in the Maldivian waters.
Drift diving is the most common diving in Maldives. It allows people to view more of colorful fish life, coral and rock formations. But to enjoy this diving, you should be aware of the direction and strength of the water currents. Whether you are diving in the 'kandu Olhi', a pass between the atoll reefs or 'thila' a shoal, inside the atolls, you should know the rules of proper diving.
Another important factor to consider for diving in Maldives is the level of tides. A rising tide brings in clear water from the ocean into the atoll, while receding tides carry out less clear water from inside the atolls.
For instance, a drift dive through a channel, taking advantage of rising tide and clear water flowing into the atoll would offer an exciting dive with high visibility.
There are different areas of diving for beginners and experienced divers for enjoying Maldives diving. You should take all information from the diving spots before you plunge into these Maldives diving explorations. The best way to explore the Maldives underwater life is on a dedicated live-aboard boat.
