On Water
Scuba diving is the jewel in the crown of the Maldives, where hundreds of internationally recognized and named dive sites offer exceptional and accessible underwater experiences. To complement beautiful fish and coral reefs, there is the thrill of turtles, moray eels, manta rays, sharks, whales and the mystery of silent shipwrecks.
Most resorts offer professional dive schools with qualified multilingual instructors and dive-masters. There is a range of courses from beginners to full PADI certification. If you are not a diver, enjoy snorkeling, windsurfing, water skiing, canoeing or the simple serenity of swimming.
On Board
For the Maldivian people, fishing is a lifeline, and with over 90% of the country's area consisting of water, it boasts some of the worlds best fishing. Again, most resorts offer day trips on speed boats equipped for deep-sea game fishing, and at night there's star-light fishing for grouper, snapper, squirrelfish or barracuda.
The Maldives is famous for tranquil dhoni fishing at sunset and peaceful dolphin watching, but for a little more speed and splash, sail out on a catamaran, windsurfer or pedalo.
