Maldives is categorised as one of the world's top dive destination and quite rightfully the place is an endless source of underwater wonders. Head over to the more famous reefs such as Banana Reef and you will be amazed at the huge collection of marine life, from the tiniest reef fish to larger sharks, sting rays and lazy turtles. Spotting the elusive whale shark is one of the thrills of diving in Maldives while underwater caves, cliffs and overhangs, add to the thrill. You can indulge in wreck diving around some of the atolls and even take on a live aboard dive tour which is a few days cruise upon a luxury yacht, sailing to the best dive sites around the islands. The best part of this adventure is that even amateurs are encouraged and given the chance to experience the depths of the Indian Ocean with PADI certification and dive courses for kids being offered at most of the islands resorts including Kuramathi Island Resort.
