Dive No. 1 Fottheyo

Dive No. 2 Vattaru Kandu

Dive No. 3 Vattaru Kandu

Fottheyo we like to dive as Early Morning Dive because there are always very good chances for hammerhead sharks. Unfortunately today we have no luck with hammerhead sharks but we are compensated with a school of dolphins. During the comfortable drift dive through the colorful overhangs we see some grey reef sharks.

Vattaru Kandu is the only channel of this atoll. Beautiful overhangs stretch along the entire reef. At the edge a big swarm of barracudas is already waiting for us. As we drive further into the channel we are surprised by three manta rays.

The third dive of the day is also done at Vattaru Kandu. It is similar to the first but there are only two manta rays.
