The Maldives Islands are world renowned for their pristine beaches and wonderfully turquoise sea. It is a dream vacation for many seeking complete relaxation as well as a getaway option.

Opting to combine a love for marine life, exploration, adventure and water sports is an increasingly common phenomenon among Maldives’ visitors.
The clear still blue water and the rich marine life it holds is largely due to the well protected coral reefs in and around the Maldivian Islands. The coral reef has built itself on the natural foundations of the 
mountainous range formed under the sea in the area. This gives the corals a steady base.
These corals not only serve to protect the islands from various tropical weather patterns but also attract a host of diverse marine life as the corals provide the ideal grounds for food, hunting, and hiding.
