Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet.I got a chance to visit Maldives last vacations & to experience the under water scuba diving.It was my dream come true. I am in awe of what lies beneath the surface and how marine life comes in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors and lives in all kinds of different environments, adapting to them perfectly.Cerulean and warm waters of Maldives are home to numerous Scuba Diving places like Maaya Thila and Chaaya Reef which are home to tonnes of marine life & underwater beauty.


Near the sea side people are busy sporting, swimming, Yatching,Surfing,Scuba diving & Paragliding by flying high on water & stopping on their boats.old people are busy fishing.We can see lot of eat outs & people taking sun bath in the umbrella attached resting chairs.Lot of restaurants are set for tourists to provide good food & happy gaming.


Things we need to wear for scuba diving are:A scuba regulator and tank provide the air you need. Fins allow you to swim efficiently, and a wet suit helps you stay warm. Go-pro HERO White Underwater Camera is a must to click pictures of the fishes underneath.There are trainers who taught me to swim & manage with the oxygen masks. Also they guide people how to manage danger situations.


Species like Parrot fish, Butterfly Fish, Pelagic Fish, Sharks and colorful Corals,clown fish,Surrounded Fishes,sonata,sea horses,Angry fish,deep red sea fish,Jelly fish,Star fish,octopus,Baby shark,crabs,Dolphins,Tentacles,Turtle 32,Dolphins,Barbed Skate,Cuddly Cuttlefish,Sea slug 7 can be seen here.


When we descend below the surface,i was welcomed into an underwater world filled with colour ,life and beauty. There are over 1 million known species of plants and animals in our oceans and 9 million species still to be discovered.Life under water is full of many beautiful creatures which are rarely seen.I loved to see aquatic life and the unique creatures found in the oceans.


It was a great experience overall.
