#Maldives Trip Report : NOV. 18-22 2017, #Male-#Ari Route Vol.1
I am very pleased to report about the trip with Male-Ari route. This route is one of the best routes in Maldives. The trip was scheduled as a short trip, which we only had 3 days of diving to enjoy the diving in Male Atoll and Ari Atoll. The weather was fantastic throughout the trip. Only a few shower we got but almost no wind and no wave. Perfect for diving! The day 1 started with a check dive at Lankan Reef in North Male Atoll. Of course, it was aimed for the encounter with Manta Rays at their cleaning station. And we successfully made it! The 2nd dive was at Nassimo Thila. The current was a bit strong, but we enjoyed the exciting encounter with the regular schools of Giant Trevallies, Bluefin Trevallies, Dogtooth Tunas. Besides, a huge Napoleon! Some guests was admired that the Napoleon was the biggest they’ve ever seen! The 3rd dive was at Rasdhoo Madivaru in #Rasdhoo Atoll. We were welcomed by a Spotted Eagle Ray. Then, Grey Reef Sharks and Whitetip Reef Sharks were the blue water. At the end, friendly Tiera Batfish appeared and followed us a while. The air temperature was 26-33 deg.C. The water temperature was 28-29 deg.C. The 3mm wet suit was recommended. To be continued…
