We went to this wonderful little island 5 years ago and it was paradise! I learnt to snorkel which was amazing. we have been to several more islands since but we're planning to go back to Dhiggiri next feb!

Lovely holiday but it really was too hot for me so I just couldn't enjoy it.

We went to Dhiggri on our Honeymoon and had the best time ever. I know I still had my 'wedding glasses' on but waking up in a waterbungalow with my new husband made me so happy I wanted to cry. The coral reef is astounding and the fishes are so beautiful too.

November through April is the peak season for tourists visiting Dhiggiri, but if like us you travel out of season you can have the full Maldive experience at a fraction of the cost.

One thing nobody mentions is that because the island is so small, you cannot easily get away from hangers on. The trouble with the maldives is that you really are limited to a very small number of options and so just going to the other end of the island is not going to provide escape from the determined leech who wants to hang out with you. Be careful abount inviting others on to your balcony at the beginning of the week.

Dhiggiri's beach has lovely soft sand. Those of you who like me prefer the beach to diving will love Dhiggiri too.

If you don't want to see sharks, that is fine. On the house reef there are no sharks except the occasional baby, and the guides will not take you to a shark location unless you really want them to. I do urge you to go see the Manta Rays.

Dhiggiri Island is a beautiful place. Get up early and watch the sun rise from the sea. It is a truly uplifting spiritual experience. The sunsets are spectacular too.

We went to Dhiggiri a couple of years ago. The most abiding memory for me was swimming with Lionfish. These creatures are truly beautiful. Totally different to other fish, these majestic creatures cruise the reefs with dignity their elegant fronds, moving slowly like silk scarves.

Rays, turtles, dolphins, wrasse, sgt majors, clownfish, stonefish, fragonfish, blennies and about a million others whose names we don't know. Come to Dhiggiri.

You dont need to see sharks if you dont want to. Just let the dive school know that you have a shark phobia and they will make sure you dont join boats going out into areas where sharks are likely to be found.

I was thinking of going diving in the Maldives but I don't actually want to meet sharks. I think it would spoil my holiday if I came face to face with one, so should I go somewhere else and if so, where?
