Republic of
Maldives. "The official Web site. The
Republic of Maldives or Dhivehi Rajje�, (the land of the
Dhivehi people) is an island nation located in the Indian
Ocean. Its closest neighbors are India and Sri Lanka. The
Laccadives lie to the North and the Chagos Group to the
South.
The 26 coralline atolls that form the Maldives archipelago
are situated on top of a volcanic ridge 960 kilometers in
length, which runs from north to south. The only break in
this natural barrier occurs only towards the south, where
the One an Half Degree Channel and the Equatorial Channel
allow safe passage through the archipelago. Almost all the
atolls are enclosed by a coral reef which is considered to
be some of the most abundant in marine life and beautiful
in the whole world."

The official
site of the Maldives Ministry of Tourism. "Sun, sand
and sea, a thousand �Robinson Crusoe� islands, massive
lagoons with different depths and infinite shades of blue
and turquoise, dazzling underwater coral gardens; a
perfect natural combination for the ideal tropical holiday
destination...
...Not only do you discover aspects of the planet denied
to most people, but you make a lot of good friends as
well!
The Maldives is famed for its rare underwater beauty. The
profusion of psychedelic colours and the abundance and
variety of life underwater have fascinated divers and
snorkellers since Maldives was discovered as a diving
destination. The highest level of visibility that one
could expect- sometimes exceeding 50 metres - and warm
temperatures throughout the year makes diving in the
Maldives a delight you would want to experience over and
over again. The Maldives has some of the best dive sites
in the world and many visit the Maldives repeatedly for
the sole purpose of diving. All resorts in the Maldives
have professional dive schools with multi-lingual
instructors and conduct courses for beginners as well as
the advanced. Many of the resorts have excellent house
reefs. Just a short swim from the beach and snorkellers
too can experience the same pleasures from the surface."
