Go Under in the Maldives: Mesmerizing Underwater Experiences You Need to Try
What does it feel like to wake up to the vibrant world of fish and corals? Isn’t it mesmerising? The Maldives is made up of 99 per cent ocean and one per cent land. And, as one might assume, the thrills of the Maldives are found on, beneath, or above the water’s surface.
The Maldives provides amazing undersea experiences, from entirely submerged underwater housing to dining and spa facilities located metres beneath the ocean’s surface. We look at some of the most incredible experiences that make this island country a wonderful vacation destination.
