Maldives · A closer look
A responsible reef day
An underwater outing begins with the right operator, conditions and respect for marine life.
Match the activity to your ability
Explain swimming experience and any equipment needs to the provider. Snorkelling and scuba diving have different training and safety requirements.
Leave the reef untouched
Follow the guide, keep clear of coral and animals and leave nothing in the sea. A photograph illustrates the setting, not present reef condition or a guaranteed encounter.
Give the day room to unfold
Confirm the exact site, conditions, safety equipment, qualified supervision and cancellation arrangements.
