The Maldives!
\nJust the name sounds so exotic!! \ud83d\ude00
\nAnd it was absolute amazing to put your feet on some of this 1192 beautiful islands, spread on 26 atolls.
\nWe crossed 6 of those atolls with our live-aboard cruise with start at Mal\u00e9 City. It was pretty amazing that we landed on an airport island, Hulhumale, in the middle of the sea and then we took a speedboat-ride for about 10 minutes to the capital island\u00a0Mal\u00e9 City. We had one night in Male City. That was really nice to be there one day before and had a good nights sleep before we got on board the boat. That afternoon we walked around this small capital (only 1,8 square kilometer, but have almost 104 000 inhabitants). The entire city occupies the whole island and it was really fun to see it from the boat. The day after we arrived to Male City we went back to Hulhumale and was picked up on the airport and than transferred to the boat, MV Leo, that would be our home for the next 8 days. And what a boat!! Big diving-boat deck, Jacuzzi, nice big sundeck to relax on between our dives. Big lounge\/dinner area and lots of fantastic food. We have already decided that it’s not the last time we go to the Maldives!! \ud83d\ude09
\nBut now til the funny part, the diving! Oh my god, we had so many amazing dive on even more amazing dive sites but some dive sites on the outer reefs of South Ari Atoll wasn’t that great considering corals and fishlife. But it was still really good diving! We saw lots of colorful coral fish, beautiful coral reefs, wrecks, sharks and MANTAS!!!
\nOur most thrilling night dive was when we sat on a ring on the bottom of a lagoon around everyone’s torches an could enjoy this amazing creatures for 60 minutes. Mantas is absolutely one of the world’s wonder. They danced around us, on the side, above and almost under us! This was one of our absolute best night dive ever! FANTASTIC!!<\/p>\n
Dive photos are coming soon, but here is some photos above surface around the Maldives and from Male City!
\nWatch and enjoy!<\/p>\n
Marry Christmas from us!<\/p>\n
