The Maldives as a whole is known as one of the best places in the world to go scuba diving in. The scuba divers that take on the sport here are very respectful of the aquatic life that thrives beneath the surface of the turquoise waters. Even though the entire cluster of islands that make up the Maldives has an incredible amount of stunning coral reefs the main difference between the waters here and elsewhere would be the staggering amount of aquatic organisms. The majority of dives that happen in and around the Maldives use live-boards which will take you along the water in accordance with the current. The fact that the currents constantly keep swirling in and out of many channels makes sure that various food substances and nutrients are distributed evenly throughout. This could be the main factor that allows large schools of fish to survive almost everywhere.
As you embark on a diving tour you will be able to see many beautiful types of multicoloured fish such as snappers, sweetlips, jacks, parrotfish or Napoleon wrasses. There is a myriad of diving resorts in Maldives such as Anantara Veli Maldives Resort and others that offer scuba diving to their guests as a part of their leisure package. Within the many channels, there are caverns and out-jutting projections where you will be able to see the little eco-systems built by coral reefs. Inside of the lagoons in the atolls, there are massive projections of rock that even break through the surface of water known as Thilas. These are magnets of sorts for marine life and many crustaceans as well as sponges can be seen inhabiting these areas. The pelagic organisms such as manta rays and whale sharks can be spotted slightly away from the coral reefs.
