The Football Field

by Conflictrealms

If you can round up enough players, then the football field should provide some good entertainment for an hour or so. It is just a short walk from the lobby and beach, next to other sports facilities. The ground its on is sand, and not grass, so you'd probably be playing barefoot.Keep in mind there is no shade upon the field, so take care when out in the sun. Probably best to play in the early evening. I also heard that the resort holds little football competitions every now and then. So if your lucky, your visit may coincide with the tornament!

Vollyball

by Conflictrealms

Vollyball is a popular sport in the maldives. There are 2 courts; One on the beach, and another near the other sports facilities more in the centre of the island. We saw people playing vollyball each night, and you tend to get nation versus nation. I expected to see a bit of rivalry between the English and Germans, but everyone was very friendly to one another and in the end had a great time. The hiring of the vollyball is about $10 per hour. This is for the actual ball and court, and not per person!

Scuba Diving

by Rodan44

Maldives is deservedly famous for scuba diving. The quality of the water, coral, and sea life here is among the best in the world. Every resort has its own dive center, but some resorts are more highly regarded by divers than others, so be sure to research this before you make a booking. It is possible to obtain beginngers or advanced diving certifications here as well, although it is much more expensive than in other countries in Asia. If you are not planning to take certification lessons, be sure that you are fully certified before you go and have both your certification card and diver's log book, otherwise you will not be allowed to dive. It is possible to rent all required equipment from your resort dive center, but this will be expensive as they charge per dive or per day. It is preferable to bring your own equipment, even if you have to rent it from a shop back home.I will not...

Snorkeling

by Rodan44

Maldives is world famous for scuba diving, but it is also a great place for snorkeling. Many great reefs are found close to shore and in shallow water, making them easily accesible for snorkeling. The variety of tropical marine life in these shallow waters is quite amazing! Mask, snorkel, fins.Wear a t-shirt or wetsuit if you don't want your back to get sunburned.

Snorkeling

by call_me_rhia

Snorkeling is how I spent my days in the Maldives - possibly I spent more time with my head underwater than overwater. The colours of the fishes near the reef - and the variety - was simple endless and unbelievable: I wish I knew the English names for them. My favourite, however, is the baby batfish in the picture: it stayed all its time under the south pontoon, away from the reef and other fishes. A very shy fish. Compulsory: fins, snorkel and mask. Recommended: an underwater camera and a t-shirt in order not to get sunburn while snorkeling

Scuba diving

by call_me_rhia

Many people go to the Maldives for diving - this gives you the opportunity to see wonderful colourful fishes. Forget about corals: most have been "whitened" by el Nino so it'll take some years before they recover fully. So basically diving in the Maldives is only for the fishes... the wonderful fishes - playful and friendly - and so beautiful. All resorts offer at very competitive prices "test dives" for non-divers. Bathala's diving instructor (october 2004) is Chiara. everything is provided by the diving centre

Volleyball and Soccer

by fashionapple

Maldivian people like to keep themselves fit. Young ones like to play volleyball, basketball and soccer. There is a big play ground in Maale where you would find many guys busy in playing any of these games. Some time they play so well that you would like to stop there for few minutes and enjoy their game.

Scuba Diving

by fashionapple

There are many famous dive sites located in Maldives. There are diving schools in most of resorts who give you training for scuba diving.Diving the Maldivian waters is one of the best underwater experiences a diver can have. The variety and number of brightly colored reef fish and exotic marine life that populates the water's depths are simply unforgettable. Its better if you bring water sports equipment with you. Otherwise you may rent it out at resort but it would be expensive. If you travel with Emirates airline then you would be given 10 kg additional for your water sports gear.

Swimming and water sports

by fashionapple

Maldivians are expert in swimming and many of them enjoy swimming in beach. You would even find old Maldivian ladies in beach and they are very good swimmer. Many girls and guys along with their friends go to beach for swimming in evening times after getting free from their studies. You would often see babies enjoying swimming too.

Windsurfing

by fashionapple

Maldives is ideal for water sports. You can also enjoy Wind surfing at many of resort islands. Most of the resorts have training schools for wind surfing and other water sports. Try some water sports activities when you are in Maldives next time! Its better to bring surfing gear with you. Although you can get it on rent in your resort but it would be very expensive. If you fly to Maldives with Emirates then they will allow you 10 kg extra for water sports equipment.
