There are fewer destinations in the world that would top the Maldives when it comes to being a perfect coastal destination. Considered to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, Maldives is home to some of the world’s most beautiful and pristine beaches. The islands are also known for their charming and exotic culture, unique tourist attractions and world class hospitality industry. For a stay in a stylish Maldives resort that offers tranquil accommodation, make a reservation at the Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.
Of the many water sports and aqua activities that the Maldives is great for, one that stands out of the rest is diving. This is for the simple reason that the waters of the Maldives are home to some of the best preserved and beautiful coral reefs in the world. These reefs provide a fertile ground for living and breeding for hundreds of species of marine fauna. Thus, a plunge into the warm turquoise waters of the Maldives will allow you to witness some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring sights of nature.
While technically you can dive at any time of the year in the Maldives, the best times are considered to be the months of November through April in the eastern side of the atolls, and from June to November in the west side of the atolls. During these seasons visibility is at its maximum and the waters are generally calmer, making it ideal for a great diving experience. Diving into the waters, you will be able to witness stunning coral reefs with coral formations of all sizes, shapes and colors. You will also be able to swim with fish such as manta rays, Napoleon Wrasses, Whale Sharks, Snappers, Parrotfish, Turtles and even some reef sharks! There are also a few great wreck diving sites in the Maldives. Some of the best locations for diving in the Maldives are Kurumathi, the Ari Atoll, Vilamendhoo, Manta Point, Banana Reef, and Kuredu Express.
