More from The Maldives


We have had mixed weather since we arrived. The weather closed in on the afternoon as we arrived but the next day was warm and sunny. The swimming from our bungalow is wonderful and the fish most interesting.
We had great viewing as we stood on our deck early in the morning. We saw all sorts of sea life in the shallow waters very close to our steps that lead down into the water. There were black tipped reef sharks, white tipped reef sharks, some other shark species, large sting rays and much more.


    Hard to capture as the water surface was choppy. Think this one is an Eagle Ray.


                                                    A Manta Ray we think!


                                                   A Black Tipped Reef Shark

The sharks are nothing to worry about. They are small and are often on the very edge of the water. Some of them are only 30cm in size but we watched one like this circle a school of very small fish still without a catch.

The next day was rain from breakfast all day. Late in the afternoon we finally went for a swim and walked out along a sand spit. In the shallow water saw lots of fish, a few sting rays and a few small sharks. It is a wonderful place to relax but we are looking forward to sun tomorrow!

Hope mum isn't starving to death among all that seafood! Fingers crossed that the weather improves for you.
