With its stunning array of underwater sites full of colourful corals and exotic marine life, the Maldives offers hours of diving adventures, especially at sites such as Maaya Thila. If you love diving or want to learn, look to stay at a Maldives resort such as Anantara Veli, Maldives which has its own dive centre. Apart from charming Maldives bungalows, the resort also offers diving safaris that take you to various underwater sites.

One site worth visiting is Maaya Thila which can be found in the North Ari Atoll. Here you will find an abundance of fish life and coral heads and even novice divers can explore this area. One of the main attractions here is undoubtedly the white-tip reef sharks that can be commonly spotted when on a dive. On your exploration of Maaya Thila, you may also come across a range of other species including tallfin batfish, dog-toothed tuna, parrotfish, clownfish, butterflyfish and even turtles. For a truly unique experience, head to the site at night and enjoy an underwater adventure like never before.
