Dive in the turquoise waters of Maldives
Today we continue the discovery of the Maldives.
And we will start this discovery with the seabed and the turquoise waters of the archipelago.
Snorkeling above a coral garden
The Maldives is 99% turquoise water, with a fascinating underwater life. It is therefore imperative to put on a mask and a snorkel and slip into the deliciously warm water (28 degrees on average).
Immerse yourself in the lagoon, on the edge of a coral mushroom, a world of surprising richness awaits you. Even for the most seasoned snorkeler, the wealth of wildlife inhabiting the reefs comes as a shock. The retinas are assaulted by a flood of colors: wreaths, butterfly fish or other angel fish, this is a true painter’s palette.
Cartoon memories resurface when they come face to face with Nemo, Dory and even Crush the adventurous turtle! Hundreds of different species of fish await you, as well as marine mollusks and even black tip sharks (harmless).
Snorkeling is one of the unique and essential moments in your discovery of the Maldives. What is certain is that in the evening when you close your eyes, just before sleeping, you will have fish in your eyes!
Do your baptism of scuba diving
No wonder many are those who take the first step of diving or pass their PADI in the Maldives. This destination offers simply excellent conditions. Ultimate luxury, you don’t have to take transport or equipment, everything is nearby you go directly from the beach.
The shallow lagoons allow you to take your marks safely and smoothly. The coral plateaus that border many islands, some 20 meters below the surface, are an ideal learning ground.
As soon as you leave your bungalow, a teacher will accompany you step by step. In the resorts, we don’t skimp on safety. Once the first apprehension has passed, quite natural, the reward is abundant and colorful: groupers of all sizes, graceful rays, sharks, delicate angelfish, it is an endless ballet for dives that are always too short.
Enjoy the nautical activities of the island
Water sports are a must on Maldivian days. Windsurfing, catamaran, kayak, jet ski, banana boat or even parasailing, there is something for everyone. Best of all, non-motorized sports are generally free. Parasailing is undoubtedly the one that offers the most sensation and the most original point of view on the islands of the archipelago.
Slowly suspended from several dozen sets above the Indian Ocean, you experience magical moments.
With some huge lagoons devoid of waves, the Maldives is also a great place to get started with jet skiing. Going freely through these landscapes, the wind in your hair, with a taste of salt in your mouth, is a delight for lovers of freedom and speed.
If you like wild animals and awe-inspiring shows, sign up for a boat trip to meet manta rays. In season, they are numerous and easy to observe. But the best thing is to join them with a snorkel in your mouth and fins on your feet. Let yourself be brushed by its peaceful and fearful animals. If you don’t make sudden movements, they will stay on longer. Immersing yourself in the middle of a graceful ballet of these ocean giants is a unique travel experience, but also moving.
