Dive Overview

Boasting warm waters with rich marine life, coral reefs visited by schools of fish and playful dolphins, mantas and whale sharks, the Maldives is one of the most diverse scuba diving destinations in the world. Amazing channel dives draw animals from the deep, which will leave you spellbound. Mountainous pinnacles rise from 35m and taper to 8m, which make them ideal for those slower, more relaxing dives.
