Maldives

The Maldives, is a South Asian island nation located to the southwest of India and Sri Lanka.

It is the flattest and the lowest country in the world, an archipelago made up of some 1192 low-lying islands.It is known for its luxurious, over-the-water bungalows but, for scuba divers, there’s no better way to explore the Maldives than by liveaboard dive safari.

These coralline powder-fine white sandy shores beaches are actually quite rare and only make up around 5% of the world’s beaches. It is a hub for all sorts of diverse marine life, but the most remarkable has to be the whale shark, the biggest fish in the ocean.

So white and pure, Maldivian beaches are famous for their staggering beauty with impossibly clear waters. In fact, one of the main reasons holidaymakers choose the Maldives is for the quality of these island beaches and as a top diving destination.
