Captivating Water Sports in Maldives – Adventures On and Below the Waves

From tranquil lagoons to the Indian Ocean, the Maldives offers plenty of “playgrounds” for water sports! Here are some of the highlights.

Snorkelling

Views of vibrant coral and multi-hued fish await those who go snorkelling in Maldives. Areas such as the North Male Atoll are ideal for this activity especially at resorts that offer guided excursions of their house reefs; some even feature special night snorkelling where you may spot lionfish, octopus, lobster and more!

Seabob

When it comes to more novel activities in the Maldives, things to do include exploring the waters using a Seabob. This unique underwater scooter is on offer at certain private resorts; it gives you a chance to power along underwater and on the waves at speeds of up to around 20 km/h for a dolphin-like experience!

Jet-Skiing

If you desire the adrenaline rush of speed, then jet-skiing is for you. The great thing is, you have a vast ocean all around so you can zip along the water to your heart’s content, though do be mindful of how much fuel you have! It provides a great way to not just discover the area around the island, but further afield too.

Scuba Diving

Equally enthralling is scuba diving in Maldives; ideally, stay at a resort with a dive centre that not only offers excursions but PADI certifications too. Soon, you will be heading below the waves be it in the day or at night, for encounters with sharks, eagle rays, mantas, Napoleon wrasse, barracudas and turtles to name a few.
