If you love the sea and diving, then why not charter an active aboard scuba diving cruise together with your diving buddies. Collectively, it can save you much more money and time if you live a board a diving cruiseship and go island hopping, diving and fishing for the next 10 days of your vacation. That is because that you can do away with your hotel accommodation, save traveling some time and can go to a lot more dive spots. What to do for a cruise diving vacation? Try visiting the Island nation of Maldives.
However, there are many world class spas, resorts and hotels in Maldives such as the Banyan Tree Spa resort, you've got no need to stay in them if you don't wanted to. Well, if you want to remain in a luxurious resort, it can be any excuses for you to travel to the Maldives again to savor these spa resorts. It is because, once you have scuba dived in Maldives, you will need to go back there again. Maldives is really a scuba diver's paradise.
The atolls of Maldives were formed when countless years ago, a great range of volcanoes rose in the floor of the Indian Ocean. After a while, the volcanoes sunk back into the Indian Ocean abandoning the coral reefs on the Maldivian atolls and islands we have seen today. That is why Maldives is better known for its white sandy beaches and crystal blue lagoons teeming with marine life.
The nation have no big land mass, but rather is made up of about 1200 coral islands having a total area of 104,00.00 sq kilo 99% being the sea. Of these islands, only a little more than 200 of them are inhabited. The majority of the islands are not higher than six feet(a couple of meters) above sea level and scientists have warned that they're very susceptible to global warming and could one day, disappear into the ocean. We already have signs that this is happening.
Obviously, the mainstay of the Maldivian economy is run by the fishing and tourism industries. About 500,000 tourists arrive on these islands annually. The main city of Maldives is Male (pronounced as Ma-Leah). Upon touching down in the airport, you will be whisked away with a fishing boat because the capital isn't any larger than a few football fields and also have one of the most dense population on the planet.
Maldives has been an independent sovereign country aside from a brief occupation by the Portuguese. After that it became a British Protectorate in the mid-fifties and gained full independence in 965. It's been an Islamic country for more than 800 years. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, Chinese sailors called Maldives the "submerged mountain chain" wrote commentaries about these islands.
If you like vacations in tranquil tropical islands or just love fishing and diving, then Maldives is a great holiday destination for you. Oh, I forgot to say, if you are a seafood lover, I believe there are no other places on Earth where one can get such a wide smorgasbord delicious tasty seafood, except in Maldives.
