I'd rather be playing with Elephants

Down Under the Maldives




Diving in the Maldives is heaven under water! If it swims in the Maldives we saw it with a backdrop of colorful corals. This includes more sharks than I could count, but the best was a beautiful whale shark. It was aptly named at about 7-8 meters!

There were cool turtles, black spotted and eagle rays, moray eels, lion fish, scorpions and loads of gorgeous neon tropical fish. But, my favorites were the magnificent Manta Rays. They look prehistoric and full of grace! Twice we sat on the bottom and watched the show – Manta’s flying just above getting cleaned by little fish. It looked like a beautiful ballet. Diving doesn’t get any better!

I promised the crew to return soon with friends. Who’s in?
