The Maldives is one of the best diving destinations of the world. Divers can see mantas, whale sharks, valleys of luscious soft corals, colourful gardens of hard corals, huge tunas, eagle rays, over 1000 species of fish around the reefs, countless species of invertebrates. The atolls of the Maldives are dotted with hundreds of dive sites with many more yet to be discovered.
The thila or circular reefs, enclosing a shallow lagoon, are some of the best dive sites.
Reef life is prolific with the species of marine life estimated to be in their tens of thousands. Frogfish, leaf fish, ghost pipefish and a multitude of nudibranchs. Whether it is the awesome manta ray, the graceful grey reef shark or the tiny, brightly coloured flatworm, the Maldives has it all. |
