Maldives Insight Pocket Guide

White sand and turquoise sea - a valid description of the 1190 miniscule islands that make up the Maldives atolls. Situated below the southern tip of India, this is home to some of the most spectacular diving in the world. Part of the "Insight Pocket Guides", this guide features do-it-yourself itineraries, including all-day tours, half-day tours and short excursions. Hotels, restaurants and shops and supplies are also provided, with practical information on how to get there, when to go, what clothes to take, what visas to obtain and what to do in an emergency.
