Enjoy diving through underwater caves and exploring submerged reefs where black-tipped reef sharks abound. The possibilities are endless and doubly rewarding when you book a scuba diving tour in the Maldives. Book a group tour and enjoy the company of fellow divers and learn from the expert instructors.

Snorkelling is one of the easiest sports to enjoy in the Maldives. All you need are a snorkel, fins and mask. Together with basic swimming skills and you are good to go. Swim out to the house reef and start exploring, in between the colourful coral you will find numerous little fish, as well as coral in all shapes and sizes. Don’t be surprised if a dolphin swims up to keep you company or a turtle happens to amble by. Remember to keep your hotel or a friend updated about what time when and where you plan to go snorkelling. The best is to join a snorkel tour which takes groups of people to some of the best snorkelling and diving spots around the archipelago.

Sit and Watch the Ocean Go By

Have you ever had the luxury of sitting on a private terrace watching the ocean come to life each day? In the Maldives, you have the luxury of enjoying this extraordinary phenomenon from the terrace of your overwater villa. You can sit for hours, once you greet the morning sun, and watch the fish in the shallow water. The sea is so clear that you can see depths of 30 metres in some places. Be warned though you are not going to be able to sit for long and merely watch the activity in the water. Before you know it you will be diving into the warm water to swim amongst the fish and enjoy the refreshing ocean.

Get to Know the Locals

As a solo traveller, you will have plenty of time to schedule visits to the local islands. There you can meet the islanders and learn about their simple lifestyles. Discover their daily routines and ask them about their traditions and customs. If you are lucky, you may even get invited to join a family meal.

In truth, solo travel is the best in the Maldives, because you are never alone, while privacy is a matter of choice and easily obtained at times you want to spend relaxing on your own.
