The Maldives is a popular destination for travellers seeking a warm, relaxing holiday. Since its first resort opened in 1972, the Maldives has flourished as a tropical paradise, complete with cool ocean breezes, crystal clear water and white sandy beaches. Though best known for its resorts, the Maldives is  growing in popularity as a prime destination for scuba diving. Avid divers from around the world flock to the Maldives for the opportunity to spot some of the world’s largest underwater animals, including the whale shark, manta ray, grey reef shark, white tip shark and napoleon wrasse.
