Whale Sharks are yet another beautiful marine species that divers can encounter below the waters of Maldives. While they are smaller than other whale sharks, those in the Maldives can grow up to 8 metres long. They can be found in the South Ari Atoll and the Baa Atoll during May, November and December when the waters are calm and clear.

Take a Whale Submarine Ride

Embarking on a while submarine ride is quite unlike other water sports in the Maldives. It is the perfect way to explore the rich marine life of Maldives without the effort of diving or snorkelling. These tours are often carried out in an air-conditioned submarine that navigates through the waters providing its occupants with amazing views of the coral reefs and colourful fish that occupy the waters.

Dine at an Undersea Restaurant

While dining on the beach is a popular experience in the Maldives, the truly adventurous can experience the marvels of underwater dining too. The Ithaa Undersea Restaurant located 5 metres below sea level at Conrad, Maldives, is an acrylic structure that can accommodate 14 guests and offers a prime undersea dining experience. With a glass rooftop that offers a stunning panoramic view of beautiful coral gardens, this restaurant offers one of the more unique underwater experiences in the Maldives.

Snorkel at the HP Reef

A visit to the HP Reef is a must for those looking for an unforgettable snorkelling experience. Located at the North Male Atoll, the reef is also known as the â€˜Rainbow Reefâ€™ for the bright yellow, orange and blue corals that are present. Snorkellers may also witness plenty of small fish, rays, barracudas, reef sharks and more. The reef also features stunning natural formations including crevices, caves and a splendid 25-metre-tall vertical chimney.
