Parasailing
Parasailing is a great way to explore the scenic
splendour of the islands and the vistas of coral and water beyond
them. Only the larger resorts offer it as an activity and those
that do usually have courses for beginners.
Scuba diving and snorkelling
The tropical waters of the Maldives vibrate with
exotic marine life and abundant coral reefs. Some of the diving
sites can be explored from the resorts or through diving safari
trips. Most of the resorts run diving schools offering PADI courses
and hiring facilities for diving and snorkelling equipment and
underwater cameras. Some of the best dive sites in the Maldives
include the Victory Wreck, Mushimasmingili Thila (Shark Thila),
Guraidhoo Corner, Kuda Rah Thila (Broken Rock) and Banana
Reef.
Fishing
Night fishing is a uniquely Maldivian sport and a
favourite with tourists. Conditions in the Maldives create a
perfect opportunity for relaxing under the night skies while
waiting for a catch. Big-game fishing is another option that
involves trolling along the outer atoll reefs.
Windsurfing
Lagoons around the island are perfect for windsurfing.
Most of the resorts have windsurf schools or watersports centres
offering lessons and instructions and equipment hire facilities.
Boards and sails for hire cater to varying skill
levels.
