8Ari Atoll, Maldives

The Maldives are made up of more than 1,000 coral islands divided into 26 ring-shaped atolls in the Indian Ocean. These atolls are famous for their white coral sand and their incredible marine life. 

Sea turtles are everywhere, even in the shallow water. You can easily see hawksbill turtles while they eat sea sponges along the reef (in the foraging area). Sometimes it is possible to swim with olive ridley and green turtles. However, these turtles rarely lay their eggs in the Maldives. Best time: January to April
