Two Sides of the MALDIVES | The Beauty & the Reality

An interesting day of traveling in the island nation of the Maldives in the Indian ocean near Sri Lanka and India. I took a boat from the lovely little island of Maafushi to the capital city of Male and then another boat to Dhiffushi, which wasn't quite what I'd expected.

Thank you for always showing the reality of all the places you are visiting ! Sorry to hear about the snorkelling situation. Thankfully you are fine! Stay healthy and enjoy your travels ! 👍

Hey Gabe, nice comment on the price differences between Hawaii and Maldives. It’s truly shocking how expensive some places in the US have become. It makes me wonder, you’ve got places like the Canary Islands (also a volcanic archipelago and tourist hotspot full of beauty) that’s far away from mainland Spain (like Hawaii is to the US) yet everything there is so much more cheaper than Spain (far cheaper than Hawaii, maybe cheaper than Maldives) and it also retains its historical identity and hasn’t became too comercial. I think I should make a video on that.. Long gone are the easy days of budget traveling, and it’s only gonna keep getting more expensive. Great video.

Little tip: If you have some cordage you can always tie op your leg to the floation device and still swim down and be connected. Also, noodles work well, without a cord but there must be calm conditions. Happy you are still with us Gabe.

To be honest these islands are also a very small portion of the maldives remember there's more than a 1000 islands. And tourists usually stay in islands near malé were there aren't a lot of local living in the islands. Usually the islands are way more beautiful the further north and south you go

[@f900ex5]

@@bramsleon6852 Male is NOT a tourist destination is never was and Maldives don't sell it such, Gabriel is very close to Male which is really a service center/logistics to support all the nice islands either well north or south of Male. The city is over crowded with bikes and people, there is not enough room which is why Maldives Gov have taken out huge loans to reclaim land and build condos which IMO destroying what Maldives once was, it's chasing the tourist money, look at what they are doing to the airport, it still a small airport but they are building a huge international terminal right on top of it. It is what it is at this point, no turning back. And just FYI Ive been to the Maldives 3 times in the past year and will be back before the end of the year. Many people want to go to MALE but you it is what it is, why you think when you get of an aircraft, after exiting the arrivals hall you see 30-50 hotel reps waiting people to whisk you away from Male and to some nicer island.

Comparing high season for Hawaii against low season in the Maldives isn't a fair comparison. Plus the world is still dealing with Covid and many people would like to stay closer to home. In any case I'm not a fan of islands and from what you've shared so far. I don't feel the place is worth visiting. Zanzibar Island is much nicer without having to shell out crazy money.

OMG, facing ones possible demise in the water is not a good feeling.

Hello Gabriel, I had a similar incident while snorkeling in Maldives last year, however I am a beginner swimmer and to see some corals up close, went under the water forgetting that I had the snorkel on me! You being an excellent swimmer, why did it happen? Did you forget it too or it was something else? Can you even swim underwater with the snorkel on? I am not sure.

[@goostrey4210]

There is clear erosion visible when you first get to the beach, with tree roots exposed by the advancing ocean. The Maldives are suffering from rising sea levels due to climate change. Given that fragility and precariousness, the islanders must be alarmed at how easily their lives could just wash away and must need to do a lot of rebuilding just to postpone the seemingly inevitable end to a lifestyle that their ancestors have enjoyed for many generations. Perhaps then it's no sin that building materials are visible. This is a real country and not just a tourist resort, and doubtless on the private islands they hide reality better.

[@lorrainedavidson7229]

Nonsense! Another climate change alarm, fear, nut !

[@aarinisles]

@@lorrainedavidson7229 If you look at the actual data over the past 25 years sea level rise across the globe is either non-existent or is around a few centimeters. Looking further into it the rise is actually an illusion because it’s actually the coast line that is sinking in some areas for a number of reasons none of which is related to any change in climate.

[@scubardiveshop1389]

I'm a scuba coach for 20+ years, and I'm listening to your story. Allow me to offer some advice. About your camera, get a clip so that it is attached to your body at all times. Sometimes you need your arms and you don't want to lose your camera. Don't use a wrist holder, get something clipped to your torso, so having some sort of belt across your chest or waist for your camera to be attached is great. Or, if your swimming shorts have something to attach a clip to. I've seen a lot of people lose their cameras when attached to your wrist. And, about a lifejacket... you can take one... and hold it under your stomach without wearing it. use it as a floatation device... and swim down, and then come up. When a lifejacket is resting on your belly, it is easier to look underwater with your mask and snorkel and you can relax as well... save your energy :)
