Upon arrival in the Maldives the idyllic island surroundings will captivate you, but the most magical part of this stunning destination is below the surface of the Indian Ocean. Tropical reefs teeming with life, inquisitive turtles with no concept of social distancing, bold sharks, graceful manta rays and so many fish you could get lost amongst them!

The choice of activities available is vast so here are our top 3 activities for experiencing the Maldives underwater:
