Windsurfing |
The breeze
and the wind movement and the large lagoons that surround most of the
islands are ideal for windsurfing. A majority of resorts have
windsurfing schools where you could take instructions and lessons and
even be certified. Like the diving schools the surfing schools are
well-equipped. Most of the time the condition is suitable for beginners.

Snorkeling |
Even if you
cannot dive or if you do not particularly want to try learning it, you
could still enjoy the breathtaking underwater life by simply donning a
mask and fins, and wading your way along the surface of the waters. One
thing which every visitor marvels about is the distance / depth you
could see into while you snorkel in the Maldives . The superb visibility
of the sea contributed by the clearest waters on the Earth would let
you witness the busy colorful natural world beneath you as you snorkel.
All resort islands offer a beautiful house-reef that you could snorkel
everyday. Those resorts with far out reefs will have a boat that will
take you to the reef. Mask and fins can be rented from the diving
schools if you need them. |

Whale & Dolphin Watching |
Imagine
the excitement of watching a great whale blowing, its powerful body
surging through the water. Or a host of dolphins leaping from the sea in
an energetic bound just a few feet in front of you. If this appeals to
you, then the Maldives has what you are looking for. Over 20 different
whale and dolphin species can be seen here. Compare this with the
handful or less that are regularly seen at most other destinations and
you will see why the Maldives is so attractive for whale and dolphin
watchers. In addition to this great diversity of species, another great
attraction of whale and dolphin watching in the Maldives is that it is
so easy and comfortable.
