The trip was the special one, which took us to very close to the Equator, started from #Male atoll, then #Vaavu, #Meemu, #Thaa, #Laamu, and finished it in #Gaafu atoll. This trip is held only once a year! I was sooooo excited! The check dive was happened at Maagiri Rock in the North Male atoll. The ocean was calm, perfect for a check dive. The yellow carpet of Bluestriped Snappers welcomed us at the main reef. We were able to continue on the observation of the black Trilobate Frogfish. Garden Eels and Spaghetti Eels were bowing to us very politely at the sand area. We even encountered with Mobula Rays there as well. The 2nd dive was at Fish Tank. I am always admired the dense of the sea creatures here. Luckily there was no other dive boats around. We could exclusively enjoy many of the Pink Whip Rays, the school of False Moorish Idols and big Napoleonfish! Yay! The 3rd dive was at Alimathaa Jetty in the Vaavu atoll as a night dive, of course! The countless of Tawny Nurse Sharks were streaming like a river. It was a breathtaking scenery. The water temperature was 26-31 deg.C. The water temperature was 28-29 deg.C. The visibility was 10-30 meters. To be continued…
