There is no place quite like the Maldive Islands for a relaxing holiday. When selecting a quality Maldives resort an excellent selection would be the Anantara Veli, Maldives. This appealing resort offers attractive accommodations and attentive hospitality, assuring a pleasant and refreshing stay.
Visitors to these idyllic islands in the Indian Ocean who enjoy diving or snorkelling should take the opportunity to experience the engrossing eco-ventures in the island waters. As their name suggests these excursions combine the pleasure of diving or snorkelling in these unsullied waters with the guidance and assistance of an expert in marine biology.
Such a scientifically oriented expedition will take you deep beneath the ocean waters to obtain an understanding of the ecological significance behind the natural majesty of the local undersea environment. The exotic beauty of this reef ecosystem will be even more captivating when you acquire a background knowledge of this delightful marine wonderland. Visitors will have the opportunity to study the native marine fauna and flora at close range and obtain an understanding of their life cycles, mode of life and ecological value. Another option will be the chance to take an excursion on a traditional dhoni sailing vessel to see dolphins which are commonly seen in the local waters.
Even snorkelling takes on a special significance when you are accompanied by an experienced marine biologist who will provide insights into the ecological details of the reef environment. Often the tour provider will rent underwater cameras so that snorkellers can obtain photos of the reef environment and thereby relive their memories in the years to come.
From July to the month of September visitors will be able to enjoy the experience of snorkelling with the huge but gentle manta rays who frequent the Maldivian waters. These magnificent ocean creatures seem to dance and hover just beneath the ocean waters, presenting an amazing spectacle rarely seen elsewhere.
If you would rather observe dolphins from a sailing vessel the Maldivian waters are similarly an outstanding environment. An accompanying marine biologist will provide fascinating details regarding the life cycle of these marine mammals and also answer any queries that you may have.
