Diving
& Snorkeling Maldives 1st
Edition
Casey & Astrid Witte Mahaney
Scattered like rings across the Indian Ocean, the 26 atolls that comprise the
Maldives are a diver's mecca. Encompassing channels, pinnacles and walls, the
sites here have lyrical names that match their beauty. While hard corals recover
from recent coral bleaching, the reefs still thrive with vibrant soft corals,
sponges and anemones. Prolific fish life ranges from funny little blennies to
massive, friendly Napoleonfish. Divers are transported to the reefs on colorful
traditional dhonis and luxurious safari dive boats. This book describes 78 of
the best sites in the Maldives, with full-color photos taken in the wake of El
Niño damage.
