Resorts & Tourism

You all are aware of what has happened with the tidal wave.
Here some accurate information concerning the resorts and tourism.
19 Islands have closed for the moment to repair the damage done by the water.
64 Islands are in full operation. Live aboards are not affected by the wave at all.
I can assure you that the reefs have had no damage due to the wave Maldives has been very lucky. Due to the geography we did not have a crashing wave but a rise in sea level It washed away many houses on the local islands.
All the affected tourist where brought to Male and stay there in schools until they could leave the country wounded where helped in the hospitals. Sadly 3 tourist perished in the tidal wave all where from the UK.
The question to come or not to come to the Maldives is one everybody has to make for themselves. We ask every body to come to the Maldives those islands in operation and live aboards will and can take the tourist, the government assures that it is safe to come to the Maldives the reefs are in good shape so diving is still good.
Tourist will bring in money to the country management than does not have to fire people, salaries will be paid this will help the affected families, so please keep sending the holiday makers to the Maldives. Tourist tax will help to rebuild the country.
All the best.
