Scuba Diving

Scuba Diving

Crystal-blue waters surrounding the Maldives harbour extraordinary marine wildlife and underwater seascapes dominated by vibrant coral gardens, reefs and caves; one would be hard-pressed to find better diving spots anywhere else in the world. Countless Dive Centers scattered around the islands provide the necessary training and gear. Qualified instructors follow divers every step of the way to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling

For those not quite ready to descend underwater, snorkelling provides a great alternative. A mask and breathing pipe are all the equipment necessary to see fascinating marine life unfold before your eyes as you swim through the dashingly clear waters.

Seaplane Flights

Seaplane Flights

One of the best ways to grasp how truly stunning the islands are is by looking on from above, while on board a seaplane. Seaplanes are commonly used as a local means of transport, and provide the perfect angle for memorable photographs of the iconic archipelago and its endless white beaches. Trans Maldivian Airways is the largest company that operates private flights between the islands.

Water Sports

Water Sports

The Maldives are known as a hub of tranquillity and relaxation, but active travellers will surely not find themselves at a loss. Some of the available pastime options include water-skiing, wind- and kite-surfing, wake-boarding and parasailing. You can even try out one of the latest X-Jetpacks and feel like a real-life action hero soaring above the water.

Manta Point

Manta Point

For experienced divers, the Manta Reef — also known as Rangali Madivaru — is a must-visit diving spot. Once underwater, divers will find themselves at arm's length from the majestic Manta rays, some reaching 3 metres in size. Visitors to the area must carefully follow instructions given to them, so as to minimise the damage done to the reef.

British Loyalty Wreck

British Loyalty Wreck

This world famous oil tanker was torpedoed in the 1940s, and has remained under water ever since. The site is now a popular attraction frequented by divers drawn by the ship's mysterious flair.

National Museum

National Museum

If you happen to be in the capital city during your stay, do not miss the National Museum's collection of artefacts offering insight into Maldivian (at times turbulent) history. Interestingly, the museum building was designed and given to the island nation by China.

Islamic Centre

Islamic Centre

The Islamic Centre is a monumental religious site, the largest Muslim place of worship in the Maldives. You have to belong to the religion of Islam to get inside, but travellers of all convictions are welcome to explore the surrounding premises.

Banana Reef

Banana Reef

Banana Reef is a favourite local diving and snorkelling site in the North Male Atoll that has shallow and deep areas for both novice and experienced visitors. The underwater world here holds a wealth of treasures, and is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
