Manta season is always a reason for excitement, not only for tourists but also for us, diving instructors and guides. Here in Baa Atoll, the expectation is even bigger as we have Hanifaru Bay at our door step (yes, we are the closest resort to it and I am literally looking at it as I…
We went shopping in Australia, New Zealand, Bali and Thailand for you. As the ozone layer is the thinnest over the South Pole, people from Australia and New Zealand know all about skin protection. Therefore, we sourced nanoparticle free SPF 50 sun cream from an Australian company called Sunsational. And in case you already have…
Baa atoll offers so many great dives that it is already April and we have not yet revealed our favourite dive site for January. In the Maldives, January is generally known for strong currents and here in Baa atoll was not different. We actually enjoyed it while it lasted and had a lot of fun…
We have been in the Maldives for 20 years and this is our first year in the Baa Atoll. We have dived in the Lhaviyani , South Ari, North & South Male and Laamu Atolls but we have never had as many underwater dolphins encounters as we are having here at the moment, in this…
Our top two favourites in December were Dhega Thila and Christmas Tree Reef as we had so many special encounters on both dive sites but in the end Christmas Tree Reef won the challenge.

Watch this space were we tell you all about our favourite dive site of the month. November saw this year’s manta season come to an end. We all shed a little tear as we really love seeing them on our dives and snorkels. But now that the winds and currents were changing the plankton got…
Curious about what lives below the surface of the ocean – join us every Wednesday evening at 21:30 in the bar for our Coral Reef Life Presentation. We changed from our “Introduction to the Mantas at Hanifaru Bay” presentation to this new one as there is so much more out here to discover in the…
For this month we chose Dhonfan Thila as our favourite dive site. In October our manta season was still going strong and we had plenty of sightings on many of our dive sites with encounters of 5 minutes but also for the entire dive of 60 minutes. Even better, we encountered mantas not only on…
It has been a while since our last visit to the BOOT exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany and we missed it. Finally in 2018 Marc and Petra will not only visit the BOOT but are going to be at the Maldives stand for the entire time of the show. We will start with the set up…
