Maldives’ crystal-clear waters are irresistible. As soon as you reach the destination, you’ll want to head to the white sand beaches and jump straight into the ocean. After all, many have praised Maldives’ underwater world.
You can go snorkeling with manta rays and sea turtles. Experienced swimmers can go scuba diving to discover bright coral walls and more marine life. And if you’re lucky, you might even get to swim along a gentle giant: the whale shark. Some of the best swimming and diving spots throughout the Maldivian archipelago include North Male Atoll, South Ari Atoll, and the remote and unspoiled southern atolls.
