The Maldives is a great place to take a vacation. The next time you feel like heading to a new and exotic country, make Maldives your destination and you will not be sorry that you did. In terms of activities there is so much one could do. Since the islands are surrounded by water, most of these involve water based activities. Go fishing on a glass bottom boat, sail the seas on a yacht, experience the thrills of waterskiing and surfing or simply dive in and explore the wild oceans.

If you love to dive, then the Maldives is a top class destination. There are many great diving sites, each with its own appeal. One of the most popular sites, Gaathugiri, more commonly known as the Banana Reef is an area that gets its name from its aerial shape. This is one of the oldest diving sites in the Maldives and consists many underwater caves that are waiting to be explored. There are many different species of fish that can be found in these caves and exploring these sites provides a truly enthralling experience. The caves contain fish such as puffer fish, wrasse and also blue dash fusiliers. If you dare to take a plunge into the deep, then the western area of the reef is worth exploring. With a drop of 25 metres, this cave is about 10 to 15 metres in breadth and has an amazing range of marine life. Here one will see the likes of Maldivian grub fish, soldier fish and even some squirrel fish.

There are other great diving areas too, such as Kuda Haa, which is also a site that is rich in marine life. Those who love to dive can visit such sites, while novices can easily find dive centres that provide the proper training and certification that will enable you to head out to sea on an underwater excursion in no time.

Those looking for some of the best accommodation the country has to offer should stay at a luxury resort in Maldives. The island resorts in Maldives are especially exceptional such as Maalifushi Maldives. It offers a range of contemporary comforts and conveniences and provides an ideal getaway in which to have plenty of fun in the sun, sand and surf.
