Marine Life |
Mantas, reef sharks, turtles, whale sharks, rays and superb soft corals with a rich diversity of marine life bring divers to the maldives, though hard corals are now dead. |
Diving |
For beginners to advanced. Most dives are very close to the resorts and involve short boat trips. Diving is generally within the atoll lagoons for inexpereinced, and outside the atolls on reef walls for the advanced. Much of the diving is drift diving. Currents flowing into or out of the atolls increase plankton levels and make for great manta viewing. Liveaboards operate throughout the islands. |
Areas |
