Are you a beginner ? An advanced diver ?
No matter your level, go down under and explore !
The Maldives offer a wide range of extraordinary Diving sites. The Ocean that surrounds the archipelago can reach a depth of 4000 meters.
Outside of atoll edges, reefs rapidly fall to abysses and can give giddiness to the most experimented diver.
Maldives are undoubtedly a Paradise for divers and snorkelers.
On the other side, inside reefs offer ideal conditions, reaching an average of 50 meters depth. In Maldives, a few minutes of boat transfer are sometimes enough to bring you to the most exciting and rich diving sites.
