If you choose to go diving in the Maldives, you will be able to explore several great dive sites such as Maaya Thila, Nassimo Thila, Kandooma Thila, Fenfushi Giri and so on.
Irrespective of whether you choose to dive in the daytime or night-time, you will find that Maaya Thila is an outstanding dive site. You will see that it features numerous overhangs and caves; you may find that it is possible to experience this site in a single dive if there are suitable currents. Maaya Thila boasts a remarkable selection of sea creatures including grey and whitetip reef sharks, barracudas, giant trevally, eagle rays, snappers and more. On the top of the reef, you will also spot hawksbill turtles and fusiliers.
Divers will find that this well-known dive location features several pinnacles in proximity to the main reef, striking formations of rock, caves, many kinds of fish and the other attributes needed for a rewarding dive. Amidst the pinnacles, you will encounter creatures like midnight snappers, barracudas, dog-toothed tuna and whitetip reef sharks. Meanwhile, you will find that the top of the reef here happens to be covered with a layer of hard corals whilst oriental sweetlips, eagle rays and snappers may also be seen.
Kandooma Thila happens to be a sizable undersea pinnacle situated on the outer edges of the atoll. On the upper section of its reef, you will see hard corals, whereas, on the thila's sides, you will notice soft corals of many colours. Divers will find that a powerful current runs through this site attracting many kinds of marine creatures such as eagle rays, grey reef sharks and groups of fusiliers.
Fenfushi Giri will be another alluring dive site in the Maldives offering many attractions for the diver. This location is noted for its overhangs as well as the strong currents that it experiences. At this entrancing dive site, you will have the opportunity to spot creatures like parrotfish, butterflyfish, bannerfish, surgeonfish, unicornfish, fusiliers, turtles, dolphins, whitetip reef sharks and more. To experience such Maldives attractions under the waves, a premium all-inclusive accommodation choice in the Raa Atoll to consider from which to go diving would be Heritance Aarah.
The South Ari Atoll is the finest locality in the Maldives to spot whale sharks. Interestingly, these huge but gentle creatures may be encountered throughout the year at this atoll. Divers will find that the best way to spot whale sharks would be to join a diving or snorkelling excursion led by experienced guides who will know where these giant fish can be seen.
This amazing site in the Maldives is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity, in addition to its attractive underwater scenery. Although diving is not presently permitted, you will be allowed to snorkel here; there are, however, other sites in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where you can go diving. At Hanifaru Bay, you will have the opportunity to encounter both mantas and whale sharks which sets it apart from other dive sites. These large marine creatures are attracted to this location during the season (May to November) when large quantities of plankton accumulate here.
