From heart-pounding shark diving to X-Jetblade, these resorts deliver unforgettable experiences in breathtaking settings. 

Let’s explore five thrilling activities and resorts that cater to adventurous souls in search of their next adrenaline rush.

1. Jawsome World of Shark Diving 

Shark diving at Kuramathi Maldives attracts thrill-seekers with its alluring experience. Early morning dives at Shark Point, a mere eight minutes away by boat, offer the opportunity to encounter the majestic hammerhead sharks. However, their presence relies on luck rather than a specific season. Regardless, the vibrant reef teems with larger predators, creating an awe-inspiring dive for advanced enthusiasts.

2. Experience the SeaBreacher 

Last year, Siyam World introduced a groundbreaking innovation in recreational boating called SeaBreacher to their guests. This semi-submersible vessel blends the characteristics of aircraft and watercraft, enabling passengers to leap over, dive under, and execute 360-degree barrel rolls on the water’s surface. The SeaBreacher’s sleek design features an acrylic canopy and underwater view ports, granting pilots and passengers near-360-degree vistas. With a formidable 260hp engine, this remarkable craft reaches up to 50mph speeds, propelling thrill-seekers on an adrenaline-charged aquatic adventure.

3. Extraordinary Whale Shark Encounters 

Joining a marine biologist on a traditional wooden dhoni boat, guests staying at LUX* South Ari Atoll can set sail in search of encounters with these gentle giants of the sea. As snorkelling becomes part of the journey, participants become acquainted with the majestic whale sharks and other captivating marine creatures like sea turtles, manta rays, and an array of colourful fish species. Concluding the trip, guests can contribute to the conservation of endangered sea turtles by participating in the resort’s adoption program.
