Diving in the Maldives:
This stunning group of atolls is host to an underwater paradise brimming with marine wildlife. Located south west of Sri Lanka in the warm, tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are made up of over 1200 tiny, low-lying coral islands surrounded by white sand. The abundance of marine life in the Maldives can be attributed to the ideal growing conditions the waters provide for coral reef. These coral reefs are home to more than 700 species of fish. In the lagoons you can find turtles, octopus and the giant Napoleon wrasse to name just a few.

The Maldives is tropical all year round and water temperatures range from 27°C to 29°C. There is no minimum number of dives required by local law and all diving is done from 'dhonis' to ensure accurate entry and exits points. However this itinerary will visit the Felidhu/Vaavu atoll which is known for shark sightings so the currents can be a little stronger here. Advanced Open Water is advised.

Divers have the opportunity to see a huge range of beautiful hard and soft corals as well as the famous manta rays, whale sharks, turtles, barracudas, jacks and tuna.
