Colorful wonders below water
In the warm waters around the Maldives, visibility reaches as far as 50m. There's a lot to see. Colorful coral reefs support a variety of sea life, including starfish, sea cucumbers sea turtles and over 700 fish species. The vividly colored fish – with silver, yellow, royal blue, black-and-white stripes and more - are a feast for eyes.
The beauty of the Maldives' coral reefs draws serious divers form around the world. Local companies organize multi-day diving excurisions that take divers to several different carol reefs. Resorts provide courses like night diving and underwater photography as well as lessons for beginners.
Other coral reefs offer not only beauty but also protection. Called house reefs, they surround each island and protect them from flooding. Located a short swim from the beach, these shallow carol reefs make for great snorkeling.
Indeed, whether one prefers to relax above ground or dive below, the Maldives offer unforgettable experiences. They may be the closest one gets to heaven on earth!
