When it comes to snorkeling or diving you will find that Baa Atoll deserves its UNESCO status with its diverse marine life around its reefs, thilas (submerged islands), overhangs and swim throughs and Star shaped canyons are found in the middle, which are covered in hard and soft corals, are found on the reef’s walls. These reefs become cleaning stations during manta season attracting many travelers to Baa Atoll year-round and what better way to describe Maldives than its treasures of the water. Baa Atoll is also known as one of the spots where you can swim with whale sharks at Hanifaru Bay, but that's not all that’s attractive about Baa as this Atoll offers the exploration of many uninhabited island and sandbanks where you can just lounge under the sun or snorkel in the island or sandbank reef with colorful corals and many a pelagic fish. Baa Atoll also just as or more than any atoll offers you the opportunity to visit the local islands and immerse in the Maldivian culture and learn a few different crafts.
