The Maldives consists of 26 coral atolls spread across the Indian Ocean, with shallow lagoons and extensive coral reef systems that make it accessible for snorkeling from the shore and short boat rides. The warm tropical waters maintain consistent temperatures year-round, with visibility typically ranging from 20 to 60 feet depending on season and location. The reefs host diverse coral formations and tropical fish species, though conditions vary significantly between the dry season (November to April) and the monsoon periods.
