The Maldives is not only about the picturesque beaches and the turquoise blue waters as there are so many different water sports you can try when you visit these stunning islands.
Surfing is one of the most popular activities in Maldives and it is known as one of the best locations to surf in the world. There are different locations for surfing around the islands of the Maldives and this makes it the ideal surfing location for professionals and beginners alike. There are surfing schools for those who have never tried surfing before and most of these schools and surf shops are happy to safeguard your belongings and lend you surfing equipment while you enjoy some waves.
If you are interested in diving during your stay in the Maldives, most hotels, and resorts such as Nova Maldives can provide you with details about different diving spots. You can select the diving spot you prefer depending on your diving expertise and the weather. The best time to go diving in the Maldives is from December to March when the sea is calm
Snorkelling is a great water sport for those who love swimming in the sea and love exploring nature. When you are snorkelling in the Maldives, you will not only get to see some beautiful and colourful fish but also swim with Manta Rays, Stingrays and even turtles. Swimming with these beautiful creatures of the ocean will allow you to explore the lives hidden away from the day-to-day life of humans.
For those who are not fond of swimming, glass-bottom boat rides are an excellent alternative for snorkelling. You will be able to go deeper into the ocean and even get to see different types of sharks, apart from the schools of fish and turtles, if you are fortunate.
Jet skiing is another very popular water sport in the Maldives. Since there are so many different islands in the country, there are different areas where you can try jet skiing. If you would love to feel the adrenaline rush and conquer those gorgeous swells, you can ride the jetski yourself. However, if you are not comfortable riding, you can sit at the back and still enjoy a thrilling ride across the Indian Ocean.
Parasailing is not an activity for the faint of heart as it involves speed and height all in one. You will be kept high over the waves with the aid of a parachute, but you will be guided by a speed boat that will thrash the waves and take you around. You can either go parasailing alone or with someone else.
If you love the rush of adrenaline in your veins, you will definitely love wakeboarding. Wakeboarding is where you will get to speed across the sea and have a thrilling time. You will be standing on something similar to skis that will be guided by a speedboat.
