Providing amazing underwater encounters with a staggering array of marine life, snorkelling and diving in Maldives are not to be missed; you may see palette surgeonfish, clown triggerfish, bannerfish, soldierfish, whale sharks, manta rays, turtles and more, while divers can additionally explore underwater wrecks like the Victory Wreck.

Flyboarding

Amongst the newer water sports in Maldives for the thrill-seeker, flyboarding features a flyboard with specially designed boots and jet nozzles; through water pressure, the board can be lifted up to 22 metres in the air. Once you get the hang of it, you can enjoy manoeuvres both above and below the water!

Jet-Skiing

Another fun water-based activity, jet-skiing is perfect for speed enthusiasts. Many resorts offer this water sport and you can pilot the jet-ski yourself or have a trained instructor take you on a thrilling ride. While it can be tried at lagoons, the open sea is where you can really rev it up and feel the adrenaline rush!

Parasailing

Parasailing offers a Superman’s point of view of the Maldives! For this activity, you will be securely strapped to a parachute; when the speedboat, which you are connected to by a long line, reaches optimal speed you will be lifted into the air. Both single and tandem parasailing are available for an unforgettable experience.
