Watersport activities in the Maldives – An ocean adventure awaits

The Maldives is a famous tourist destination among all types of travellers from couples on their honeymoons, families on vacation, and backpackers. Water sports in the Maldives is the highlight activity for all of these families. Here are a few water sports that you shouldn't miss in the Maldives.

1

Snorkelling

This is the easiest and most famous water sport seen in the Maldives. Most Maldives luxury resorts will offer snorkelling gear to their guests or have a partner who facilitates this service. It is an activity that doesn't require special skills or even the ability to swim. Instead, As long as your breathing apparatus is working properly, you should be set for an amazing time. Exploring the waters of the Maldives via snorkelling can get you a glimpse of some of the most beautiful marine life that you'll ever see. Different islands in the Maldives will offer different experiences in terms of snorkelling. Snorkelling can be an activity you can engage in almost daily when you are at Amaya Kuda Rah.

Scuba Diving

This is the next step to snorkelling in terms of exploring the underwater wonders of the Maldives. Unlike snorkelling, this requires a certain level of skill. However, if you are already able to swim, developing these skills won't be too difficult. The trick is to find a great water sports school and an instructor that can help you out. In terms of the locations to dive at, the choice will entirely depend on the kind of experience that you're looking for and the level of difficulty that you can manage. The water around some islands is more challenging than others and is ideal for the experienced diver. There are very specific islands that instructors recommend for first-time divers. The spectrum of marine life that you can see will only be more with diving. In addition to the normal shallow-water species, you will also come across rays, sharks, and dolphins.

Jet Skiing

If you want something a little more exciting than snorkelling and scuba diving, jet-skiing is ideal for you. Imagine whizzing through the ocean on a high-speed machine – this is exactly what a jet ski allows you to do. Again, this requires a certain level of skill to perfect. As a start, you can always double-up with someone who can ride a jet ski quite well and then take control of yourself later. Good weather will make your jet skiing experience all the better.

Parasailing

This is a water sport that will make you feel like you are quite literally flying over the water. You will be attached to a boat that is going at high speed while also being connected to a parachute that will help you guide through the sky. This is a bit of an advanced water sport and might not be everyone's cup of tea. Making sure that you have good weather is vital to have a safe and enjoyable parasailing experience.

5

Windsurfing

This is another wind-based activity that will allow you to let go and enjoy the water. It is thrilling, relatively easier to master, and also relatively cheaper.
