This morning we went out on the boat for 2 dives in the Baa Atoll, Maldives. The first dive site was Dharavandoo Thila and before we even got in the water we saw dolphins jumping out of the sea next to our boat!
This was a good omen as the following 2 dives proved to be spectacular. On the first dive the max depth was 28m, water temp was 29oc and about 20m viz. We saw a giant stingray, moray eels and huge grouper.
During our surface interval on the boat we spotted manta rays in the water so we all grabbed our masks and fins and jumped in the water with them! We saw 4 manta rays and also an eagle ray! One of the mantas was huge and it was absolutely amazing to be swimming with them in their natural habitat.
Check out my video of swimming with the manta rays http://youtu.be/4g0dqei11pU
We then reluctantly boarded the boat and headed to the second dive site: Milaidhoo. This was an interesting dive site as there were swim through caves and caverns.
