The islands of Maldives are famous for its pristine white sandy beaches, dazzling blue waters and abundant marine species. One of the best ways to explore the treasures of the sea is to try out diving in Maldives, which is a great experience for everyone. Some resorts such as Kuramathi Island Resort, offers diving courses where guests can learn how to dive. However, for those of you who can’t swim or simply just don’t want to dive in to the depths of the sea, a submarine ride is the most ideal for you!
A submarine ride is the equivalent of free diving, where you’ll basically see everything a diver would, except you’ll be safe, warm and dry inside the submarine, and you won’t have to worry about being the star of the new Jaws movie- even though there are no aggressive fish as such in the waters of Maldives.
After boarding the submarine, you will first be taken to a depth of 25 meters where passengers can admire the colourful reef and its inhabitants. Some of the fish you’ll be able to spot are the Common Lionfish, Yellow Box fish, turtles and other varieties. Once the submarine dives to a depth of 40 metres, you will be taken to a larger coral garden, where you’ll be able to see White Tip Reef Sharks, Napoleons, giant groupers, turtles and many more.
The submarine ride is ideal for families travelling with kids, as they get a chance to explore the beauty of life under the sea without getting wet. This is also great for older people and people with disabilities. The Whale submarine is known to be the largest deep diving submarine in the Maldives that can accommodate up to 50 passengers on a leisure trip.
