CENTRAL ATOLLS ROUTE – SET PRICE

The Maldives is one of the most popular diving destinations in the world, and for good reason. As well as being a paradise above water, the Maldives has a huge marine biodiversity ranging from the smallest to the largest life. We will enjoy seeing huge creatures such as different types of sharks (Nurse Shark, Grey Reef Shark and Whale Shark), manta rays, eagle rays… But also different types of fish next to reefs that fill these seabeds with life and colour (Soft Corals, schools of Fusiliers, Sweetlips and much more).
