Exploring Maldives

Diving & Surfing

The Maldives is so much more than ‘just a beach holiday’

Choose the right spot, and the right time of year, and you can enjoy world-class surfing and diving. Sailing is another great way to explore – particularly if you are up for literally chasing the perfect wave!

Though most islands will advertise they offer some diving and watersports, let us know what’s important to you so we can make a personalised recommendation. Some resorts are best for beginners seeking a PADI course, and others for more experienced adventurers ready to go wreck diving.

When to go is an important question. Though Maldives is a year-round destination, surfing is best April to October and diving visibility peaks in certain areas at certain times of the year too.
