Take a moment to look at this.
A friend & I are planning to visit Maldives late March 2024 and will only have 4-5 days of diving before heading to Sri Lanka for safari & (hopefully) swimming with Blue Whales. Where is a good place to stay with good diving for such a short visit? We don’t want to travel far from Male’ International Airport, as we’d rather spend our time in the water!
Hi Steve,
Fortunately, yes there are still corals in the Maldives (or they were there last I was there). How long will you be there, can you do more days of diving or just one?
Did coral reefs survive anywhere in Maldives? Where is best in the Northern Atolls for whale shark and turtles around the full moon? Thank You!
It really depends on the resort, but most will try to go to the best spots. But, the liveaboards have the advantage of reaching spots further away and can therefore give a more unique dive experience.
Hi. Do the dive resorts take you to the same spots a live board goes to. I would like to do a dive resort. I want to know if they go to other spots or hit some of the best sites in Maldives.
Thank you
