Bucket List: Maldives

These next few posts are going to about places that are on my bucket list to go to. For those very few of you who don't know what a bucket list is; it's basically a list of things one might want to do before they die. This one is dedicated the Maldives.

The Maldives is an island country and archipelago located in the Indian Ocean. It's coordinates are 3ºN and 73ºE, for those weirdos like me who love to know weird facts like this. The Maldives are just nearly off the coast of India. The Maldives stretch about 35,000 square miles. It's the smallest Asian country in both area and population.

The site where I got all of the info about the Maldives is Wikipedia.

The reason I want to go there most is to scuba dive. I got my scuba diving license when I was 14. The first place I went scuba diving was Oahu, Hawaii. But I've been told the the Maldives are simply breathtaking underwater if you know where to look and a good guide to show where to be at a moment. Utah is in the middle of the USA so a flight from here to there on a regular plane and since India is a 30 hour flight I estimate it would take about 35 hours. Now you would lose a lot more time because of the whole time switch thing and whatnot. But then again you would regain that time when you are on the way back... unless you decide to stay in that beautiful place.
