Swimming in the Maldives is like diving into a giant aquarium. Its marine flora and fauna are of such an amazing diversity, an absolute delight to any diver, whether they are professional or amateur. The landscapes, however, have nothing to envy of their marine counterparts; there are many rare species thriving in the lush vegetation of such a small but diverse nation.
