Diving Holidays in Maldives, Maldives

There is nowhere on the Planet where you can find such a rich marine environment combined with such a huge range of incredible luxury resorts and professionally run scuba diving schools, it really doesn't get much better than this! The diving in The Maldives is good all year but there are some differences in the seasons.

From around the end of December through to May is the northeast monsoon season with the lighter winds coming from the northeast. During this time there is a general lack of wind, this creates sunny skies and calm seas. Due to these conditions, the visibility on the eastern side of the atolls is good with roughly 20-30m of visibility and on the western side, there is about 15-20m visibility. From December to March the water currents flow through the atolls from east to west, this creates fantastic visibility along the eastern atolls. The current is usually strongest over this period. During this time many shark species gather in the eastern side channel entrances in large numbers while the mantas are attracted to the western side where the plankton flows out to the open ocean.

During June to November is the southwest monsoon when the currents move easterly through the channels. During this time Hanifaru Bay offers some of the best sightings of mantas and whale sharks. They come to the area to feed on plankton that has built up from the southwest monsoon. The visibility is also much better on the western side during this season. The wind picks up during this time and the sea can get a bit rougher. There is still many sunny days but for the most part can be quite cloudy. The surface swells during this time can get to about 1-2m especially during June and July which is the main rainy season.

Throughout the year the water temperatures stay constant at about 26-29°C. The larger marine animals like mantas, whale sharks, turtles and reef sharks can be found in the Maldives throughout the year. Diving with these marine animals is dependent on day to day factors like high/low tide and sunrise/sunset.

Kitesurfing Holidays in Maldives, Maldives

Kitesurfing on the picturesque island lagoons of the Maldives is just about as perfect as it gets for beginners and improvers alike. The kitesurfing experience in the Maldives is unlike any other, with flat, warm waters that are protected by reef systems. The Maldives is the ideal destination for those who simply love to be in the water, be that underwater scuba diving or flying along its turquoise surface windsurfing, sailing or kiting!

There are two main wind seasons for The Maldives. The South Westerly winds comes between May and October, and then the North Easterly winds between December and February. The wind in The Maldives tends to be between 15 and 22 knots. This is not like some of our other super wind reliable destinations, as there are likely to be mornings with no wind, and some no wind days. However, when there is wind, the Maldives is an amazing kitesurf destination. The Maldivesi s especially good for foiling, wing and light wind kitesurfing. 

There are only a handful of resorts in The Maldives that offer kitesurf lessons and/or rental, and the prices can vary dramatically. If you are considering a kitesurfing holiday in The Maldives we recommend calling us so we can give you some expert advice, you can then book online here with the confidence you and booking the correct resort for your specific requirement.

All Adventrus prices INCLUDE 22% compulsory taxes (for both the resort stay and sport services) plus all necessary airport transfers (either sea plane, domestic flight or a combination of both)
