Exploring the ocean’s mysterious depths is a must-do activity when you’re spending your holidays in Maldives. Diving is an incredible journey that can probably change your life for the best. Many properties in these islands, such as Kurumba Maldives, offer diving lessons by certified instructors.
Diving Lessons
Many holiday resorts in the Maldives offer internationally accredited PADI diving courses that range from beginner to expert-level courses. If you do an open-water referral course in your country, you wouldn’t have to start from the beginner’s level during your holiday in the Maldives.
Diving Costs
Depending on your diving school and whether or not you rent the diving equipment, diving costs can vary in significant amounts. For instance, if you have your own equipment, a single diving session may only cost around $70, whereas the price would surge up to $150 if you rent the equipment.
Diving Equipment
Especially during this pandemic, it would be best if you can have your own regulator, which is the mouthpiece one uses to breathe underwater. A BCD would help underwater in inflating and deflating your vest. Apart from that, a wet suit is required to dive underwater.
Diving Sites
Four diving sites are identified around the Maldives, including reefs, kandus, thilas and giris, and wrecks. Kandus, which are breeding ground for planktons, are incredible to spot the magnificent manta rays.
