Snorkeling in the Maldives
Nothing beats snorkeling in the Maldives. The beautiful Indian Ocean is teeming with life. If the islands of the Maldives are beautiful, what you find under the water is a absolute wonder of nature. Each island has it’s own lagoon and reef, swim to the edge of the reef where the ocean bed drops off and just snorkel in this area and you will see almost everything. Red and yellow snappers, parrot fish, Indian bannerfish, anemone fish, angel fish, wrasse, unicorn fish, tuna, lion fish, trigger fish, oriental sweetlips, turtles, rays and even reef sharks to mention a few. You can also take excursions further out in to the ocean to see Manta rays and Whale sharks.
If you are snorkeling in the Maldives then it is a good idea to research the islands, to find one with a good accessible reef, that can be easily reached from the beach. See Best resort house reefs for ideas. Snorkeling in the Maldives is one of the easiest ways you can have a glimpse of this amazing world beneath the water. Snorkeling in Maldives is easy to do and is cheap. It allows you to spend hours watching the under water nature of the coral reefs. You should take precautions from the sun, the ocean water is cooling and will lull you into a falsely thinking you are fine, but laying on top of the water will increase your chances of burning.

If you are unsure about snorkeling in the Maldives, especially over the deeper drop off then wear a life jacket. This will allow you to just float on top of the water and move slowly along the reef at your own pace. Not got all the equipment, don’t worry, the resorts have a dive and water sports centre that will hire this to you. It will be well worth it and once you have done this you will be hooked.
