The pearl of the Indian ocean is surrounded by the sea and is also blessed with a multitude of rivers, lakes, lagoons, canals interspaced with breathtaking waterfalls in the mist-laced high lands in the centre of the island. All these offers the water-sports lovers a virtual one-stop-shop. The variety of water-sports include wind-surfing, water-skiing, surfing, sailing, scuba-diving (including wreck-diving), snorkeling, speed-boating, white water rafting or simply basking in the golden rays of the sun. The choice is enormous as is the diversity. Whale watching at close quarters is a must and is once-in-a lifetime experience.
