Admit it, you’ve always wanted to visit Maldives at least once in your life. Why all the hype about these islands? Well, it’s simply because of the beaches, marine life, and breathtaking views also, not forgetting the beautiful resorts that adorn the islands.
Many Maldives villas have their very own house reefs which they protect with great care. Resorts such as Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives have house reefs where guests can go snorkelling to explore the beautiful corals that adorn the area. These reefs also attract various marine species. One can almost always spot reef sharks in the waters of Maldives. Manta Rays, Sting Rays and Eagle Rays are common sites in the Maldivian isles. One can spot these creatures swimming peacefully in the ocean during their snorkelling and diving expeditions, and those who prefer to keep themselves dry will not miss the chance to see them in the comfort of their villas or during the feeding sessions which takes place in the evenings at any resort in Maldives.
Of course, if you do go divining the chances of spotting colourful ocean species ranging from fish, turtles to sharks are quite high, and the corals are much prettier making your diving expedition definitely a satisfying one. In the Maldives, one must possess a PADI certificate before venturing deep into the ocean, but this can be easily acquired from a PADI centre in your hotel or resort.
