What to see when diving and snorkelling in Maldives

Diving at "Fish tank"

10/3/2015

Comments

 
"Fish Tank" is an area outside a fish processing plant. Fish waste is thrown in the water here, and many fishes are lurking around waiting for the next meal. Most common species are Pink Whipray, Schooling Bannerfish, Yellowfin Surgeonfish, Giant Moray and Honeycomb Moray.

Today was Dive Whit my buddy. We were in company with two girls who had their introduction dives: Felicia from England and Erika from Japan.

The visibility at "Fish Tank" was not the best, so the second dive was at "Back Fure" at the outer reef. Here did we find clear water and a light current alongside the reef. Highlights were a turtle, two Spotted Eagle Rays and a small Common Scorpionfish. As we were about to finish the dive did we see an enormeous Humphead Parrotfish. I hope Dive With publish pictures of it on FaceBook.
