Picture the Maldives and what is the first thing that comes to mind? Probably beautiful, deep blue water and pristine white-sand beaches?
Well, that is all awaiting you on this amazing swimming holiday. This trip is the chance for you to explore the Indian Ocean and envelop yourself in all its natural wonders – see beautiful corals and stunning shoals of fish, go on the search for whaleshark and even swim with some dolphins.
