#Maldives Trip Report : NOV. 25-DEC.01 2017, #Male-#Ari-#Vaavu Route Vol.1
Hi, it’s Miki. I am a new guide for M/V Fun Azul in Maldives. I am very thrilled to report this amazing trip experience! The day 1 started with a check dive at Lankan Reef in North Male Atoll aiming for the encounter with Manta Rays. As we saw many diving boat on the surface there were very crowded with scuba divers in the water. But when we came back to the Manta’s cleaning station in a while there were no divers except us! We enjoyed observing a Manta Ray exclusively. The 2nd dive was at Nassimo Thila. Although the visibility was not great, it was very enjoyable to see the Giant Trevallies and Bluefin Trevallies were attacking the school of False Moorish Idols and Bananafish. Besides, a big Green Turtle came to say hello to us. This is one of my favorite spots. The 3rd dive was at Fish Tank. Unfortunately the visibility got worse as if it was a night dive. In fact, we found Redtoothed Triggerfish was in its nest and the nocturnal Banded Coral Shrimp were out instead! Interesting. And what was very special we saw here was Giant Guitarfish!!! It came very close to us. Lucky me! The air temperature was 26-33 deg.C. The water temperature was 28-29 deg.C. The 3mm wetsuit was recommended. To be continued…
