Thrilling water sport activities to awaken your adventurous spirit within – action all the way

To best experience, the sport of snorkelling one does not have to be an expert swimmer. All that one requires is the ability to float and paddle. Since the under waters in this part of the world feature incredible scenes and an array of marine life to explore, snorkelling will come across as one of the more pleasing of leisure activities where you can also cover a much larger portion of the ocean in your own time. The period of July to September is when one must consider heading to the Maldives, especially if keen on learning the ropes of this outdoor sport.

Scuba diving is unrivalled in the Maldives, both in terms of appeal as well as providing avid divers with an opportunity to learn a new skill. While being able to swim well is not required, prior diving experience will surely come in handy. However, in the event you have not dived before, do not be put off as expert instructors will readily educate you on the dos and don'ts of scuba diving. A diving course will be the best way to kick-start your adventure and many Maldives resort properties offer such facilities. One option worth considering would be Maafushivaru Maldives. On average, a person will be required to spend anything between 130 – 1000 USD on a scuba diving course.

For a more laidback escape, do take note of underwater walking. If walking on the ocean floor was a fascination of ours, then here is a unique opportunity for you to live your dreams whilst being surrounded by all the colours and shapes of these tropical seas. Getting up close and personal with your favourite creatures would never feel this good and amazing and all that you require is an oxygen mask fitted on before you begin.

The sport of kayaking offers you the ease of switching onto 'adventure mode' from the moment you settle into your boat. The turquoise waters of the Maldives make for pleasant viewing and unobstructed exploring as this sport enables you to be in control of your pace and movement at all times.

Poised to give you a different adrenaline rush of sorts, jet skiing requires that your energy levels be taken up a notch or two. Moving over the water surface at terrific speed is part and parcel of this sport and thus it demands that you have a cool and calm head on your shoulders without being rash and foolish. Best enjoyed with a partner, jet skiing rides will cost you around 70 USD to 185 USD for every 20 minutes. Further, life jackets are to be worn at all times and preferably having an instructor on board with you will help with the experience.

If you were expecting your 'run of the mill' type of fishing experience in the Maldives, then perhaps you ought to think again. For big game fishing in these waters is anything but ordinary. Coming into contact with species such as sailfish and tuna is almost a given and you must always have your wits about you. You will not be required to bring anything along with you and essentials such as fish food will be provided by the staff.
