Reef Dives

Reef edges, where it slopes into deep water are the most interesting part of a reef to dive. Outer reef slopes, where the atoll meets the open sea, often have interesting terraces, over-hangs and caves, and visited by pelagic (open-sea fish).

Visibility is usually good, but surf and currents can make for a demanding dive, inner reef slopes, in the sheltered waters inside an atoll, are generally easier dives and feature coral formations and numerous smaller reef fish.

Kandus

A kandu is channel between islands or reefs on the outer edge of an atoll, or a channel between atolls. Kandu is suitable for drift dives. The current also provides an environment in which attractive soft corals thrive. Water inside an atoll is a breeding ground for plankton, and where this water flows out through a kandu into the open sea.

The rich supply of plankton attracts large fish such as manta rays and whale sharks.

Thillas

A thilla is a coral formation that rises steeply from the atoll floor and reaches to within five to 15m of the water surface – often it’s a spectacular underwater mountain which divers fly around like birds.

The top of a thilla can be rich in reef fish and hard coral, while the steep sides often have crannies, cave and overhangs which provide shelter for many small fish, while larger fish come in turn to feed the smaller fish.

Wrecks

While many ships have foundered on Maldivian reefs over the centuries, there are few accessible wrecks with historical interest. Those which have historical interest requires permission from the government to dive. The driveable wrecks are mostly outside the atolls. They are interesting for the coral and other marine life which colonises the wrecks.

he Maldives archipelago located 300 miles south west of the tip of the India and 450 miles west of Sri Lanka is the perfect spot to go diving. The deep blue seas of Maldives are filled with exquisite marine life. The breath taking, never before seen coral reef gardens and multi-colored fishes are appreciated by divers as these waters are extremely lucid even at about 50 meters from water surface. The Maldivian waters are also said to be at an ideal temperature of 25-30 degree Celsius, to go diving, thus Maldives is marked on world maps along with the other top dive destinations.

If you want to witness the beauty of these under water life at its best state, then you should plan your trip to Maldives, between December and April. This is when Maldives experiences the dry season and the sea is at its calmest. You are expected to experience only mild winds and very little rainfall. Therefore the rough waves and harsh currents surely will not ruin your dive trip.

Every resort in Maldives has a professional dive school staffed with qualified instructors. If you are new to diving and don’t have a single clue about what to do, then no worries as these dive schools carry out training programs for beginners in various languages including Chinese, Spanish, Italian and a lot more. The dive schools are well equipped with necessities such as wetsuits, tanks, compressors, BCDs, weights and weight belts plus other accessories such as dive computers and lamps. Some of the high standard schools provide underwater cameras and video processing facilities.

With fish as witnesses, the president of Maldives and his Cabinet wore scuba gear and used hand signals Saturday at an underwater meeting to highlight the threat climate change poses to the archipelago nation.

The Maldives declaration will be presented at a U.N. summit on climate change in December.

The meeting, chaired by President Mohamed Nasheed, took place around a table about 16 feet (5 meters) underwater, according to the president’s Web site. Bubbles ascended from the face masks the president and the Cabinet wore, and fish swam around them.

At the meeting, the Cabinet signed a declaration calling for global cuts in carbon emissions that will be presented before a U.N. climate summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December.

Maldivian ministers signed a climate change document under water

“We are trying to send our message to let the world know what is happening and what will happen to the Maldives if climate change isn’t checked,” Nasheed said, according to his Web site.

Asked what would happen if Copenhagen fails, the president said, “We are all going to die,” according to the site.

The ministers signed their wet suits, which are being auctioned, to raise money for coral reef protection in the Maldives, the Web site said.

Maldives is grappling with the very likely possibility that it will go under water if the current pace of climate change keeps rising sea levels. The Maldives is an archipelago of almost 1,200 coral islands south-southwest of India. Most of it lies just 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) above sea level.

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change has forecast a rise in sea levels of at least 7.1 inches (18 cm) by the end of the century.

The country’s capital, Male, is protected by sea walls. But creating a similar barrier around the rest of the country will be cost-prohibitive.

Soon after his election in November, Nasheed raised the possibility of finding a new homeland for the country’s 396,000 residents.

The tourist nation wants to set aside part of its annual billion-dollar revenue into buying a new homeland, he said at the time.

“We will invest in land,” he said. “We do not want to end up in refugee tents if the worst happens.”

Nasheed’s government said it has broached the idea with several countries and found them to be “receptive.”
