Rasdhoo to North Ari atoll

Early morning Hammer Head dive took place at Rasdhoo Madivaru on Thursday, the underwater condition was poor mainly because of visibility. Only few divers got to witness 4 Hammerhead Sharks.

Anchored at Maayfushi lagoon and went off for second dive at Maaya Thila which turned out to be an amazing dive.

Much more action on Maaya Thila during the night dive, the current condition was strong which led to heaps of White Tip Reef sharks and many other fish.

Moving South

Out of 3 dives which took place on Friday, Mushimasmingili Thila (Fish Head) ranks first and interesting dive, clear visibility with average current and tons of fish including 4 Gray Reef Sharks.

The second most interesting dive holds Raidhigaa Thila, again with very clear waters, displaying colorful soft corals and many Gray Reef Sharks.

Whale Shark search

Saturdays first dive to Angaga Thila, the visibility remain unchanged but its resident Gray Reef Sharks and Tuna’s were missing due to inadequate current.

The same story repeated on the southern border and didn’t catch sight of whale sharks too and the visibility on 3rd dive at 5 rocks remains very poor.

Mantas at Dhigu Rah Lagoon

On returning from the dive to main boat the dive guide spotted Mantas inside the lagoon from Dhigu Rah. Having enough time before sunset, everyone decided to go for snorkeling with Mantas.

MV Sting Ray will be heading to south Male’ atoll tomorrow and will perform the top dive sites including around south Male’ before the trip comes to an end.

Diving began this morning at Makaru Thila also called Hafza Thila. It’s been few weeks that Makaru Thila remained very quiet but today was packed with action. We saw Gray reef sharks a bit away from the Thila just circling back and forth while tunas were chasing Fusiliers at mega speed.

The second turned out to be a productive dive at Bathalaa Maaga Kan Thila in terms of fish life. The stronger out-going currents brought more gray reef sharks, white tips and other large pelagic.

Gray Reef Shark

We moved to Rasdhoo atoll for the third dive and did Rasdhoo Madivaru. Here the current was mild, and gave us the chance to dive under very relaxed condition while exploring the caves at the ocean side all the way to the tip of the extended bridge, and inside the sand dune area and finished off at the coral bummies inside the channel.

Tomorrow morning early morning hammer head dive will be the last dive of the trip and will be heading back to Hulhumale’.
