If you are interested in marine life and diving then this is the place for you. The Maldives is characterized by an amazingly unique underwater life and ecology due to the remote location and unspoiled Indian Ocean currents as well as the year-round tropical climate. Reef life is prolific, with over 700 common fish species and many more still to be discovered and classified; invertebrate species are reckoned to be in their tens of thousands. For the sharp-eyed diver, there are encounters with species like frogfish, leaf fish, ghost pipefish and a multitude of nudibranchs. Whether it's the sight of the awesome manta ray, being face to face with a grey reef shark or spotting a tiny brightly coloured flatworm, the Maldives has it all.
