Plongée à Maldives — Maldives
The Maldives is synonymous with luxury diving, where overwater bungalows give way to channel dives teeming with grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and the archipelago's famous manta rays at cleaning stations. The nation's 26 atolls offer a staggering variety of dive environments, from thilas (submerged pinnacles) to kandus (channels) with powerful currents bringing in pelagics. The price tag is steep, but the combination of topside luxury and underwater spectacle is unmatched.
