Maldives

You can't really live in India without going at least once to the Maldives, so decided on a week's all inclusive to Paradise Island.  We flew with Air India direct to Male and the flight is less than two hours.  From there it is only a ten minute speed boat transfer to the resort.  The pictures speak for themselves, so I will keep comment to a minimum.

The water really is that colour.

This is a view from our island to the nexst one along, looking at their water bungalows.

I was able to get in 11 dives in the week that we were there.  Really great marine life as below, with Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, turtles and much more

Moray Eel

Leopard Moray

There were plenty of fish getting cleaned on the anenomes

A lion fish

There were plenty of sharks including reef sharks like this one and also white and black tips.


This is me on a deep dive onto a wreck called the Maldive Victory, close to Male

Me inside the Maldive Victory

There were plenty of dolphins around the islands

This was part of a pod of up to 20 that were swimming around the dive boat

There was a great sunset every evening.

All in all a really good break as a first class resort.
