Honeymoon In Maldives Travel Guide

The dry season is between December and April while the wet season is between May and November.  You are a diver then during the dry season; the visibility is very good since the currents are stronger whereas, during the wet season, the hammerhead sharks are more in number due to the low water temperature. 

However, the visibility in this season is fairly low. The temperature however, remains consistent throughout the year. If you are choosing Maldives for honeymoon, decide on whether you want to see the hammerhead sharks or if you prefer better visibility without sharks.

One should plan a trip to Maldives during the off season, in case, you do not like too many throngs of crowds bearing down on you.
