The mysterious depths hold so many things that can make the mind reel with wonder. Many colorful and diverse fish dance around stunning, strong, and delicate coral. Fantastic creatures glide gracefully in harmony with nature in the depths. The warm, crystal-clear waters open up a magical world. The Maldives is the dream of all divers!

Dive

 If you are a certified diver, all you have to do is come to the Maldives with your certification and discover this natural wonder. All tourist islands have diving schools, which are only a short walk from your room. Diving schools are well-equipped to meet the diver’s needs and have their own boats for exploring different dive sites. You can bring your own equipment or rent it from the school. You can also join a marine diving tour to explore this amazing archipelago. Life on board the boat is more adventurous and provides more opportunities to discover new dive sites that you may not see if you stay on the tourist island. Don’t you wish to become a skilled and certified diver while spending your vacation in the Maldives, with its ideal shallow lakes for beginners?

Diving Courses

 All diving schools offer courses for beginners and more experienced divers, and the instructors are qualified to meet your needs. The courses offered range from open water diving to instructor level.

What do you do on boat trips?

 It’s an amazing experience to have a real background and a comfortable journey! Harmonizing with the rhythm of the sunny islands, your days will be filled with as much or as little activity as you want. Maybe you want to lie in the sun on the back of the boat or read books you haven’t had time for, or maybe you want to dive three or four times a day! All of this depends on the individual and the holiday they have booked. You can explore uninhabited islands or learn about fishing villages with the help of local people. Don’t forget the possibility of visiting tourist islands to participate in a variety of evening entertainment in addition to snorkeling in the numerous fish in uninhabited islands under the tropical starry sky! The best thing about sea trips is that the journey is not limited to a specific island or a certain number of diving sites.

How do you choose a tour boat?

How do you want the boat to be? There are about 100 registered boats with the Ministry of Tourism, all varying in size, amenities, and level of comfort on board. The key to a successful trip lies in your choice of boat for the vacation. All boats are equipped with basic amenities such as electricity and fresh water for bathing, and some are equipped with more than just the bare necessities such as restaurants, bars, and evening entertainment on board.

Boat Sizes for Trips

The boats available vary in size from small sailboats with three compartments to large tour ships with 75 compartments. Of course, the facilities and services offered on board the boats vary somewhat between basic services and special services.

Small boats usually accommodate groups of only 6 to 8 people, and they are ideal if you are planning to travel with a group of friends. Here, you get more flexibility in planning the sea trip. Tour boats usually accommodate about 12 to 18 people. Some of these boats often provide air-conditioned rooms and hot water for bathing.

Water Temperature and Visibility

The necessary conditions for diving are ideal in the Maldives, where the average water temperature is 28 degrees Celsius annually. However, you may need to wear special diving suits with a thickness of 3 millimeters for thermal protection. You can enjoy the breathtaking underwater scenery without almost any restrictions in every dive, as the visibility reaches up to approximately 30 meters in all directions.

Diving Possibility

The Maldives is one of the richest areas in the world in terms of coral, and when it comes to diving, you are exposed to the risk of injury in your choice. Every dive in the Maldives leaves you with a magical experience with more than a thousand different types of coral and fish. Although diving boats are very popular among people, many prefer to spend their time diving on beaches to discover a few of the hidden natural wonders skillfully hidden in coral houses around the islands. Diving includes drift diving, wreck diving, and night diving.

Prevention and insurance

In recreational diving in the Maldives, you are allowed to dive up to a depth of only 30 meters. Within this depth, you can enjoy all the marine treasures without the need to go deeper. Those who manage diving in the Maldives strictly adhere to international diving standards.

Although there are clinics with good equipment and decompression chambers in the Maldives, prevention is always better than treatment.

Always take safety instructions seriously and when diving, take responsibility for yourself, your companion, and your environment. Please make sure that your current insurance covers diving accidents if you are unsure.

Respect for the Environment

The coral rock formations in the Maldives are made up of very fragile structures that can easily break and die from even minimal impact. We kindly ask visitors to take precautions and not to harm the delicate ecosystem in order to preserve the floating capacity in floating areas throughout the diving locations. Be a responsible diver and help us maintain our sensitive marine environment, and please do not use gloves while diving. After enjoying the treasures of the Maldives underwater, leave them as they are for future generations.
