Maldives Diving - Underwater Photography

Many underwater photographers agree that the Maldives is one of the finest places in the world to photograph fish. The atoll passes and channels feature large fish such as sharks, mantas and jacks. Although holding the camera still in the strong currents in these areas will be your greatest challenge.

For great shots of colourful fish and corals, dive in the ‘thilas' or shoals inside the atolls. The conditions in these often are suitable for you to calmly and carefully frame your subject. While UW cameras are available for rent at most dive schools in the Maldives, you may not be able to get the exact equipment you require.
