When it comes to beach island escapes Maldives is usually at the top end of the list. The archipelago of Maldives consists of over a thousand islands, although only about two hundred of them are inhabitable, and is renowned for its pristine beaches with much of the local tourism industry built around the ocean. While there are quite a few interesting attractions in the country, most vacationers spend the majority of their holidays by the sea and activities such as kite surfing, paragliding, jet skiing, and scuba diving have become commonplace.
Scuba diving is considered a 'must do' activity when visiting Maldives. The extensive coral reefs that surround the island act as a home to a variety of weird and wonderful aquatic fauna that must not be missed. Different spots are home to different types of marine life and so it would be worthwhile to visit several places.
The Banana Reef is a popular diving spot located in the North Atoll. It can be accessed all year around and is home to a multitude of fish. Suitable for both seasoned and novice divers, the spot contains a number of underwater caves making it a highly interesting dive. The Broken Rock is another famous spot located in the South Atoll. It also contains a large number of fish and has plenty of underwater caves. While it can be accessed throughout the year the spot is generally for advanced divers.
Those who want to see sharks can head over to Bathalaa Maagaa Kan Thila. The spot is situated in the North Atoll and is suitable for novices as well. Other good places to spot sharks include Cocoa Corner, in the South Male' Atoll, which is suited for advanced divers; and Dhigali Haa, which can be accessed by less experienced divers.
There are a number of operators that offer scuba diving services so it can be difficult to choose one. One option for tourists is to get accommodation at a Maldives luxury resort which offers facilities for activities such as scuba diving. By getting a Maldives villa at Baros Maldives guests will be able to enjoy facilities for a variety of water related activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, water skiing, kayaking and wakeboarding.
