The Maldives are a scattered group of about a thousand islands in the Indian Ocean. Only approximately
100 of them are inhabited, and tourism is the main industry. Virtually all the tourist islands are a paradise
for divers and snorkellers, with a prolific and varied fish life. We have visited Summer Island and
Vilamendhoo, and enjoyed both immensely. For snorkelling Vilamendhoo is our first choice as the reef
virtually encircles the island, and both fish and corals are very plentiful and varied.
Some believe that ‘climate change’ will eventually lead to the Maldives disappearing underwater, as they
are very flat. You may feel that you must take the opportunity to enjoy their delights while you can.
