Diving is what I look forward to most, especially out around the atolls where the reefs are still full of life. Malé is where every trip usually starts for me, brief but useful, a good way to get a feel for local life before heading out to the islands. Baa Atoll is where I'd send anyone hoping to swim with manta rays, and Addu Atoll, further south, is my pick when I want fewer crowds and a slower pace.
