[#Maldives] Trip Report : JAN. 12-18, 2019, #Male #Ari #Vaavu Route Vol.2

The day 3, we came to Rangali Madivaru in the South Ari Atoll for the 1st dive of the day. About 8 of Reef Manta Rays were there hovering at their cleaning station as we arrived. Hooray!  We had nice time to observe them closely. The 2nd dive was at Maamigili Out aiming for Whale Shark. We searched and searched but we could not spotted any. However, the big school of Mobulas passed by to entertain us surprisingly right after the entry and The 50 or more of Knobsnout Parrotfish were seen at the reef as well.  On the way back to the boat we finally found a Whale Shark! We made it as a snorkel with him!  What a timing! The 3rd dive was at Maamigili Corner. It was very relaxing dive with Powder Blue Surgeonfish, yet somehow excited encountering with Grey Reef Sharks and Whitetip Reef Sharks. The water temperature was 26-28 deg.C. The air temperature was 26-33 deg.C. To be continued…
