One of the hottest spots on the planet for diving safaris, the Maldives provides countless hours of underwater exploration for intrepid divers looking to uncover the secrets of the deep. A convenient option would be to stay at a Maldives resort such as Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa Maldives which not only offers half and full day diving safaris, but also gives guests access to the Aquafanatics Diving Centre where one can get PADI certification too.
Diving safaris in the Maldives generally offer well trained guides who will accompany you on your adventures beneath the waves. Apart from day safaris, there are also overnight trips that take place on what are known as liveaboards that come with accommodation too. Amongst the well known dive sites in the country are Girifushi Thila, Lion’s Head, Kuda Haa and Banana Reef, while wrecks such as the Maldives Victory are popular as well. On your excursions you can expect to see a wide range of colourful coral along with a fascinating variety of marine life including spotted eagle rays, napoleon wrasses, tunas, butterfly fish, blue-striped snappers, gray reef sharks and manta rays. Such safaris help you truly appreciate the stunning marine biodiversity of the Maldives.
