[#Maldives] Trip Report : DEC.28,2019 – JAN.03,2020, #Male – #Ari – #Vaavu Trip Vol.2

Day 2, the 1st dive of the day was at Golden Wall in the Vaavu atoll. The current was incoming to the inside of the channel.  We could see the Grey Reef Sharks and Bigeye Trevallies at the edge of the channel. But  it was a little bit too deep.  The reef in the channel was busy with Sea Goldies as usual. The polyps of soft corals were blooming but the current was too strong for us to observe it well. The 2nd and the 3rd dives were at Fotteyo. We deliberately took the course of dynamic overhangs and caves. The yellow soft corals were so beautiful. Exquisite Firefish were introduced very well since there were many. Besides, Bigeye Trevallies, Dogtooth Tunas, Giant Trevallies, Spotted Eagle Rays and Grey Reef Sharks were seen.  Even Dolphins came by the boat while we were moving in between dive points. At the end of the day, we arrived at the night Whale Shark spot, where became so famous recently. There were 11 boats for the night Whale Shark! And yes, we saw it!  The water temperature was 26-31 deg.C. The water temperature was 26-28 deg.C. The visibility was 30-40 meters. To be continued…
