Skilled and certified divers will have the opportunity to descend into the waters and experience the enthralling marine environment of these islands. On your dive, you could encounter engrossing sea creatures like sharks, rays, turtles and many kinds of exotic fish.

Ever popular around the world, this water sport has gained countless devotees across the globe. Once mastered, windsurfing will always be an exhilarating experience; in the Maldives, you will have the opportunity to glide across the surface of the water during your windsurfing session with the sea breezes wafting through your hair and the horizon beckoning your onwards.
Sailing on a catamaran is sure to be a captivating experience in the Maldives. Here, you will have the opportunity to head out in a catamaran with the services of a skilled and experienced instructor. As you might expect, catamaran sailing in the balmy environment of the islands would be a romantic experience for couples especially at sunset or as part of a solo journey of discovery.
For a light-hearted and fun-filled experience on the waters, take the chance to go banana boating with the family.
