Closely following the beaches is the underwater paradise that is found in the Maldivian waters. The best way to explore the seas is by going snorkelling or scuba diving. The waters of the Maldives have a variety of marine life plus coral formation that makes for amazing excursions. People from all over the world travel to the Maldives just for this experience.

Being an extremely tourism-based country, the people in the Maldives are very warm and friendly on the whole. The average local person will be more than happy to lend a helping hand if you are in need. Mingling with the locals in the countries you travel to is the best way to find out about their life and living styles. You will definitely miss out on a lot by not doing so.
