Posted: May 01, 2018
In the Indian Ocean Maldives island is situated that has 26 atolls. The island offers dark blue oceans with extraordinary reefs, various vegetation and white sandy shorelines are some of the things that are offered by this island. Individuals can spend long days to simply loosen up and unwind as it is essentially a heaven.
With a huge number of various fish swimming around the corals it is an incredible spot for snorkeling, jumping or simply investigating the waters. More than 2,000 species of fish inhabit the 1,192 islands of the Maldives archipelago like manta rays, moray eels, sea cucumbers, leatherback turtles etc.
Shark spotting potential is often dictated by weather and region. The eastern atolls have best visibility from December to May. The west is best from June to November.
Snorkeling Experiences
Whale shark can reach up to 50,000 pounds and 40 feet and is the most famous fish in the archipelago. From a beach this whale shark is rarely spotted. However, from sea planes many Maldives services offer shark spotting flights.
You can enjoy the whale shark snorkelling in Maldives without any difficulty. Catering to dive-certified tourists and snorkelers wishing to scuba with these gentle giants a small industry of providers has grown up due to the following:
- Huge number of whale shark in the region
- The potential revenue collected by organizing encounters
From the International Airport tour operators usually pick arrivals up and transport them to live-aboard safari boats; by professionals the boats are captained and crewed whose area knowledge allows them to pick the best destinations according to weather conditions and seasons.
Whale sharks express a great deal of curiosity toward divers, and interact freely docile and are calm creatures.
Care must be taken not to stray into positions where the tail could inadvertently make contact as they are enormously powerful. If time permits the wonderful coral reefs and the multitude of sunken wrecks in the area make for unforgettable additional experiences.
The most popular animal in the Maldivian waters by far is the whale shark. To encounter underwater this Shark is one of the gentlest creatures you can hope. You don't even have to be a scuba diver to see and this is the best thing about the Whale Shark. Just by snorkeling you can get up close with this giant.
Along with whale snorkelling you can also enjoy manta snorkelling in Maldives. In Maldives Scuba divers often encounter Manta Rays. Manta Rays come into the shallow water to have their gills cleaned by suckerfish especially in dive spots.
The Manta can grow to have a 'wingspan' of 25 feet and is the largest of the Ray family. Like enormous birds they glide around under the water, do not pose any risk to humans and feed on the planktons
