Popular Water Sports to learn in Maldives
With gentle waters and shallow beach, we found it so much easier to try and experiment different water sports for us and the kids. Sand is powdery soft here, which means when you topple off, you don’t end up in a bruise at all. Frankly, cost aside Maldives is great if you want kids to overcome fear for water or even try out new forms of water sports.
- Scuba diving (min age is 10 years)
- Banana Boat Ride
- Jet Ski
- Stand Up Paddle Boarding
- Fly High With Parasailing
- Water Skiing

Is snorkeling without knowing swimming possible? Absolutely! Its surprising how many people actually dont try snorkelling believeing they need swimming skills.
