Scuba diving in the Maldives is not an activity that is unheard of in this day and age. Instead, it is one of the most popular things to do when you visit Maldives. Here are some things to remember before you plan a diving trip to the island.
Best time to dive
Of course, the dry season that comes from December to March is the best time to dive as visibility is at its best. In May, the levels of plankton in the water increase, which will mean visibility is low, but the waters do attract the big fish out there.
Conditions of the water
The water is usually at a temperature between 27° to 30° Celsius. The force of the current depends on the location. Some places have no current at all, while channels have strong currents and are best for experienced divers.
Diving safety
If you plan on diving, its best to get a scuba diving insurance just in case. Resorts that organise excursions, The Nautilus Maldives for example will brief you on what to do before the dive or any Water sports in Maldives for that matter.
Become PADI certified
The best thing about the Maldives is that you can become PADI certified during your holiday. Ask your local resort to recommend a dive school for you.
