Thank god for technology! If you love the sea as much as I do, it’s a blessing that underwater cameras can now take amazing videos of what life under the sea is like. Check out the video below to take an incredible journey into Maldives’ underwater world and explore its exquisite marine life: 

Coral reefs in crystalline waters, multi-hued fish, sea turtles, manta rays, and more – welcome to the idyllic underwater world of the Maldives. Here’s a countdown of the top 5 ways in which you can explore the Maldives underwater world:

5. Dining at Maldives Underwater Restaurants

Dine at Ithaa, a one-of-its-kind attraction in the Maldives and a unique way to explore the underwater world. Located in Conrad Maldives Rangali Island at Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, the undersea fully glass restaurant is the perfect place to admire the aquatic animals as you indulge in excellent gourmet fare.

4. Island Resort Stays

Book a stay in Velassaru Maldives, Adaaran Select Meedhupparu Resort or one of the other luxurious island resorts for a novel experience. While some resorts have rooms alongside or over the sparkling waters, there are some which offer undersea rooms. Witness clownfish, the reef dwelling butterfly fish, yellow and blue-back fusilier, sweetlips hammerheads and manta rays floating above you as you spend some romantic moments with your loved one.

3. Glass Bottom Boat Ride

An exciting way to experience the undersea life, a glass-bottom boat ride takes you through the crystal waters for views of the vibrant coral reef and millions of fish species around the island.

2. Snorkelling

Wear your snorkelling gear and get set to explore the aquatic life of Maldives. It is not without reason that Maldives is one of the top snorkelling destinations in the world. The tropical waters are teeming with marine life and are, at times, so clear that you can see fish hiding in the corals and swim across in plain sight.

1. Diving

Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced diver, the rich marine life of Maldives will enchant you. Take a dive among corals and fish to discover the diverse life forms that exist underwater. Don’t forget to carry a camera that can take pictures underwater (or simply ask your diving instructor to click a photo for you with his!).
