Snorkeling:
Snorkeling
over the shallow reefs of the islands is an ideal way to explore the
underwater world. The house reefs of most of the islands are just a
few strokes away from the beach. Even if the reef are quite shallow
and one may simply walk up to the reef to enjoy its beauty.
Snorkeling equipment is available at all the resorts. Some organize
regular snorkeling excursions to give visitors a chance to
experience the diversity of marine life and reef structures in the
Maldives.

Snorkeling Tips:
-
Choose a mask that fits
snugly.
-
Test this by putting it
to your face without using the strap and breathe in through the
nose. If it fits properly it will not fall off, even when you lean
forward.
-
Choose a pair of fins
that fit your feet comfortably and a snorkel that fits easily in to
your mouth.
-
Get advise on the best
snorkeling spots and how to reach them.
-
Find out the potential
problems such as waves, currents and difficult entries and exits.
-
Wear a t-shirt to
protect yourself from the sun and a waterproof sunscreen on exposed
areas of your skin such as the neck and the back of your knees.
-
And finally, do not walk
or step on the corals, to protect yourself and the corals from
injury and damage.
