Maldives - Day 6
(Didn't do video on day 5, so no film to post)
The last day of our Maldivian adventure! Another sharky day, with the first dive at the Miyaru Kandu channel, then onto the last dive at the Hulumale Harbour.
Viz and light were not the best for the harbour dive, but still plenty of sharks around - and I got to see my first ever Bull shark - oh my word, you can really tell why they are called Bull sharks, a proper solid chunk of a fish!

Thanks to the entire crew on board Dune Black Manta, they did a great job in looking after us, and I can't wait to get back and dive with them again!

Maldives - Day 3
Now this was a good day!
First dive was at 'Fish Head', which as you can see if just above with fish, and it was mesmerising watching the Blue Fin Trevally hunting.
My favourite part of the dive was watching this poor octopus being repeatedly dive bombed by a Redtoothed trigger fish - the trigger fish really had issues with the octopus and I just can't figure out why; not seen this behaviour before....
The Manta night dive at Fesdhoo was a challenge to say the least, with low visibility, but still very cool in seeing the manta feed on plankton attracted to the lights - they come soooo close to you, just moving out of the way at the last second!

Maldives - Day 2
Let the sharky action commence!
The itinerary we followed took us to the central atolls, to the Ari atoll area, which is excellent for sharks and manta.

I would normally include a bit of drone footage in my films, but as predicted, my DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone, sarcastically named 'Submarine no.5', became Submarine no.5... Can only think it was a battery failure as it just cut out on me and was never seen again.... It wasn't a good day....

Last chance saloon... well, not quite, but soon...
Still spaces left on the liveaboard if you fancy coming along...

MSY Seahorse liveaboard - Halmahera to Raja Ampat - 28 Apr to 9 May '25.
Now this looks like a very, very good itinerary on board a very, very good liveaboard - MSY Seahorse...
I've not dived around Halmahera, but everything I hear about the place sounds terrific - 'the new Raja Ampat' - which is some statement. The second half of the itinerary pops down to Misool, which I know first hand is a fantastic place to dive.
If you would like to join me, please send me a private message to me for more details.
Liveaboard price is €5885, plus flights to get to Ternate and return from Sorong, Raja Ampat marine park fee, fuel surcharge.
Plus, after the MSY Seahorse liveaboard, there's an option to go to the Dampier Straits to go and have a play with the manta and wobbegong and see more incredible reef and fish life.
