But according to the distance, there are still a few who will have more advantages.

In some diving sites in Maldives, diving instructors will provide each diver with an inflatable organ in the shape of a sausage, so that divers can be easily found at the end of diving. This kind of safety equipment is available in most diving shops, and divers must buy one before diving.

Always check your depth gauge and diving watch when diving. In the depths of the Maldives, it is easy to cause the increase of nitrogen content in the blood, which leads to "deep sea madness", which makes divers in the time zone alert and soon leads to panic and chaos.

The deepest diving in Maldives can reach 39 meters, but some diving spots limit the depth to 29 meters.

In the underwater world of Maldives, the more beautiful creatures may be, the more dangerous they are. The thorns on starfish and sea urchins are poisonous, so don't touch them with your hands.
