Indian Ocean
The warmest ocean in the world . . . . .
Overview:
Dream castaway islands, exquisite luxury, pristine beaches fringed with swaying palms and crysal clear waters .... welcome to the Indian Ocean.
The islands of the Indian Ocean are a varied collection, including many of the smallest territories. Many hug the coastlines of continents; others must be sought out hundreds of miles from any other land. But, the one thing they have in common, was being affected by the tsunami of Boxing Day 2004, ranging from remarkable waves to inundation.
The Indian Ocean offers diving for all levels, a varied underwater topography from vast underwater volcanic mountain ranges to huge granite boulders covered with soft corals and sponges.
What to see:
| Whales sharks: | Seychelles, Maldives |
| Manta Rays: | Maldives, Lakshadweep Islands, India |
| Wrecks: | Sri Lanka |
| Shore diving: | Maldives |

Small things would make it better:

AC in rooms are not working. Guest had to sleep on the sundeck.
One small chicken wing as dinner is not enough. Please make sure there...

Soneva Fushi - Soleni Dive School, Indian Ocean

I decided on this island in The Maldives after seeing it on a BBC Holiday program review, and it exceeded all expectations. I spent the most amazing 10 days there, wish it was longer!
The island itself is pretty large and they give you bicycles to cycle round the idyllic surroundings....
