The best diving season is January to April when the visibility is at its best and when you have a better choice of liveaboards.
The lowest diving visibility is from June to October, but it’s in these months when you stand the best chance to experience whales sharks and mantas due to the plankton.

1. The above table of scuba diver reviews of the Maldives diving and shark sightings at the Maldives was taken from a group of reviews of 727 scuba divers who have dived the Maldives with Liveaboard.com.
2. It should be noted that not all people who rated the diving mentioned sharks in their review, even though they may have seen sharks when they dived.
3. Excitingly, one of the sharks spotted in November was a leopard shark.
4. One of the sharks spotted in January and one in March were tiger sharks.
Here’s a taste of what to expect when you dive the Maldives:
Whitetip and grey reef sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, barracuda, tuna, hammerhead sharks, spotted eagle rays, moray eels, garden eels, large schools of reef fish, nurse sharks and a whale shark at night to name a few of the amazing creatures found in the Maldives. But did you also notice how clear the visibility of the water is in the video?

How to scuba dive the Maldives
A liveaboard trip often works out cheaper than an island resort. Dive packages at Maldives resorts are expensive, whereas the cost of the diving is included in the price of the liveaboard trip.
Secondly, food and drink is expensive in the Maldives, so unless you book an all-inclusive deal, paying for food and drinks is costly. Food and some drinks are included in the cost of your liveaboard trip.
In addition to saving you money a liveaboard trip is a far better way to dive the Maldives. You’ll cover more distance and dive up to 3-4 times per day, including night dives.
The best liveaboard company with the lowest rates I’ve found so far is this website for liveaboards in the Maldives. You’ll need to book flights to Male International in addition to the cost of the liveaboard trip.
Pro tip: Book your Maldives trip well in advance as liveaboards are popular and fill up quickly.
