 Resorts
in the Maldives woo tourists with promises of the last
paradise on earth, and if your idea of paradise is a
pristine tropical island with swaying palm trees, pure white
beaches and brilliant turquoise lagoons, then the Maldives
will not disappoint.
Not only does Maldives consist of the most beautiful
tropical islands, but 99% of its area is covered by the sea.
Over 1,100 islands are spread over 26 atolls, ring-like
coral formations enclosing a lagoon, which gives the
Maldives its unique paradise-like appearance.
No more than 200 islands are inhabited; the rest includes
the 87 tourist resorts and uninhabited islands, some of
which are used for drying fish or other agricultural
activities.
The atolls of the Maldives are formed from coral structures,
separated by lagoons. The islands are low lying with the
highest point at approximately 8 feet above sea level. 'Faru'
or ring-shaped reef structures from the atolls and these
reefs provide natural defense against wind and wave action,
on these delicate islands.
The Maldives is famed for its rare underwater beauty. It's
also a major destination for scuba divers, who come for the
fabulous coral reefs and the wealth of marine life. Every
resort in the Maldives caters for scuba divers and
international certificates of all types are accepted.
Now with the introduction of the German built Whale
Submarine, divers and non-divers can enjoy the enchanting
beautiful coral reefs and magnificent tropical fish from the
comfort of an air-conditioned submarine with friends, family
or loved ones.
This incredible adventure takes place aboard the world's
deep diving largest passenger submarine! Descend to 100 feet
below the ocean surface and witness ocean life and other
treasures, sights once only seen by scuba divers.
Boasting with a 100% safety record worldwide this is a must
experience for every visitor, an excursion only available in
a very few parts of the world.
But it's not a place for low budget backpackers or amateur
anthropologists who want to travel independently and live as
the locals do.
