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 our deeper cleaner stations but also at 8 meters depths so we could also spoil our students with this amazing experience.

We started the week with a very popular introduction dive in the pool. As a weekly event to create interest and opportunity we offer this dive free of charge to our guests at Kihaa Maldives. We explain the equipment and some basics about slow breathing and equalising the pressure and take you slowly from the shallow end of the pool to the deeper part.
