Travel News A delightful adventure to the fascinating coral world

For all those who admire a blissful interlude from the urban anxiety, the Maldives has been a number one getaway for some time. Consisting of approximately 1,190 coral islands clustered in a double chain of 26 coral reefs along the north-south direction spread over nearly 90,000 square kilometres, this is one of the most widely dispersed countries in the world. Its warm seas have extreme visibility throughout the year, as the water is crystal clear. Add to that the spectacular formation of over 3000 coral reefs and the rhythm of the waves lapping on the shores accompanied by the cool breeze, especially during the enchanting moments of sunset and sunlight. It's nothing short of a mystical haven of splendour. As a result of these perfect conditions, one of the world's most abundant diving and coral reef areas was created. The Indian Ocean's monsoon tides foster a set of small marine creatures and microscopic plant cells, which in turn create a core for many kinds of underwater species. Swimming around these coral reefs are many types of colourful fish. Coral is a marine cyst that appears in large colonies. Its structure is formed by its hard outer shell.
They are regarded as the most diverse of all marine ecosystems. In order to witness this fascinating world of coral reef and fish, you no longer have to possess prior experience in diving, as the German Whale submarine was introduced. Now you can witness the mesmerizing scenery inside the water and avail yourself of the opportunity to observe the reef shark, giant grouper, turtles, whale shark and many other forms of extraordinary fish. Referred to as the largest deep diving submarine in the whole world, the German built Whale submarine possesses the convenient capacity of carrying 50 passengers at once and the ability to descend up to almost 150 metres below water. These fully air conditioned submarines provide trained staff and carry a sufficient water and food supply. Once it takes you way deep into the ocean, you will be captivated by the views of numerous multi-coloured fish whirling around playfully putting on quite a show as if they are trying to impress you. Since there are many Maldives resorts conveniently spread throughout the country, travellers' access to submarine diving in Maldives is made convenient. All though there is a wide range of such accommodations, checking into a luxury Maldives resort like Kurumba Maldives will surely cater to your needs to the fullest.
