Stingrays over the seagrass.
Just off the beach in the Maldives, the shallow seagrass beds are the quiet engine of the reef. They feed the turtles, shelter juvenile fish, and give rays a place to rest, half-hidden in the blades.
Snorkel out slowly and you will often find one gliding below you, completely unbothered. It is the sort of encounter that never makes the brochure, yet it tends to be the one guests talk about most.
At several of our Maldives resorts the house reef starts a few fin-kicks off the sand, so there is no boat, no course and no plan required.
