In the Maldives, what lies under the water is an absolute wonder of nature. Exceptional and easily accessible underwater life makes Maldives one of the world’s top snorkelling destinations The reefs that surround the islands and Atolls are just as abundant in variety of coral as the marine creatures that live in and around them. Sometimes you don’t need a mask or fins to see the striking fish playing in their coral nest. The water is so clear, that it looks as though you are looking through a glass aquarium. Snorkelling over the shallow clear water of the island lagoon or at the edge of the reef is an ideal way to explore the underwater world. House reefs of most islands are a few meters away from the beach. This, coupled with amazingly clear water, makes snorkelling in the Maldives a unique experience that one should not miss out on.
