Those venturing below the surface of the ocean that surrounds the Maldives are in for a treat; for beneath the waves there lies a fascinating underwater world full of life and colour. Two of the best ways to enjoy such adventures is by way of diving and snorkelling and it is best to stay at a Maldives resort that offers these two activities. Anantara Veli Maldives is one such resort and features elegant Maldives bungalows which to call home when on holiday.
Home to a stunning array of coral and marine life, the Maldives offers plenty of thrilling excursions for those exploring the waters around the islands and atolls. Snorkelling is an activity that can be enjoyed by the entire family and since the waters are quite clear it is easy to witness the beauty that lies beneath. Those in search of more serious adventures can set off to the country’s famous dive sites which give you a chance to see species you may not see in shallower waters. On these excursions angelfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, sweetlips, humpback snappers and yellowback fusiliers are among the many species you may come across along with whale sharks, rays and turtles.
