What it's like snorkelling in the Maldives
The Maldives is located on the Indian Ocean and hence has ideal conditions for snorkelling. With pleasant temperatures averaging at 27°C and calm waters throughout the year at most sites, it is a perfect location to snorkel and have a good time. With around 70 species of coral reefs throughout the archipelago and hundreds of species of other marine flora and fauna, you’ll be fascinated by the ocean life you can spot underwater.
Besides sea anemone and small fishes, other animals that you'll likely see among the Maldives' islands are turtles, manta rays, reef sharks, whale sharks, and so much more. The waters are also very safe to snorkel in, especially near the various islands, making this activity suitable for the whole family.
