Diving is the best way to explore the enchanting details of the Maldives marine life. Make sure you experience this mind-boggling activity during your holiday at a beach resort in Maldives.
Best time to visit
The period from January to April is the best time for diving. During this time, visibility is optimal, the weather is dry, and the temperatures are bearable. The peak dive season also renders high accommodation rates, and you cannot expect to find accommodation on a budget, although you have a variety of options, including Embudu Village.
