The special trip number 3, absolutely deep South, which started from #Addu atoll to the #Gaafu atoll via #Fuvahmulah. The check dive was at Addu Manta Point in the Addu atoll. The incoming current made a good condition to dive. As we reached at the cleaning station, there were total 7 Alfred Manta Rays flying over the station. That was a great start! The 2nd dive was at Maa Kandu. The current was changed to outgoing. A couple of big Napoleon Fish swam by. When we were observing the nice couple of Napoleon Fish, another male Napoleon Fish showed up and started fighting against the male of the couple over the female! Wow. The 3rd dive was at British Loyalty Wreck to look for endemic species. The wreck is big as 140 meter length. The hard corals at the shore side are so beautiful! We could observe endemic species well including Maldive Anemonefish and Evansi Anthias. Besides, a big school of Luminous Cardinalfish made a big wall and they are getting attacked by Luna Lionfish. The water temperature was 26-31 deg.C. The water temperature was 28-29 deg.C. The visibility was 20-40 meters. To be continued…
