Not everyone wants to spend their holidays
lazing in the sun. These days, tourists are
more active. They want to use their time away
from home to learn a skill, discover more about
the world and make the most of the outdoors.
And one of the fastest-growing holiday
activities is sailing.
The warm, tropical Maldive islands in the
Pacific Ocean are one of the best places to
learn. In less than a week, you can learn to be
a scuba diver.
The reefs surrounding these islands are full of
marine life. In a single dive, you might see
animals in every colour of the rainbow.
