The Maldives is one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world, where you can experience the extraordinary by exploring some of the most renowned dive sites. Our vast archipelago consisting of 26 atolls and approximately 1200 islands is surrounded by crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and a diverse array of marine life. The scuba diving season is year-round, but the best time to dive in the Maldives is from November to April, when calm weather provides the best underwater visibility.
