After north Male’ atoll Black Pearl cruised over to south Male’ and covered Guraidhoo Kandu and Cocoa Corner / Kandooma Thila.

Black Pearl dive guide Issey reports that out of these the best was crossing from Cocoa Corner to Kandooma Thila where 25 to 30 gray reef sharks patrolling the channel entrance and a school of 10 eagle rays cruising at pace speed just above the divers.

The average visibility these days are between 7 to 10 meters and at times 12 to 15 meters. The weather has been so far at its top level, giving calm sea conditions with a mild breeze and keeping Maldives as the sunny side of life with 29 degrees throughout the day.
