Diving in the Maldives can be accessed from land based resorts which use day boats that take vacationers out to the reefs, pinnacles, and channels that comprise the Maldives atolls. For the more exotic Maldives diving, you can experience the remote atolls from a live aboard dive vessel.
The diving for experienced divers is excellent. There are drop offs, overhangs, cuts, pinnacles, and wrecks full of life. Aside from the pleuthra of reef fish, divers will encounter turtles, moray eels, sharks, mantas, and even whale sharks.
