There are thousands of different species of fish and other
underwater creatures to see in the Maldivian waters, so one of the
most popular activities is scuba diving. Many say that the water is
clear enough to see fish passing at a distance of 50 yards! Across all
of the islands, there are many diving spots for those interested in
exploring the remarkable marine life, like sharks, colourful fish and
beautiful corals under the sea.
The Maldives is the lowest country in the world, since it is only 4 feet
11 inches above sea level. One of the greatest dangers is that these
islands are slowly disappearing into the water because of climate
change. As temperatures are rising, the ice at the poles is melting
and as a result the sea level is rising. Scientists claim that in 100 years
many of these tropical islands will no longer exist.
