Our favourite dive site in June was Bodu Gaa, hands down. Bodu means big and gaa translates to rock in Dhivehi, the official language in the Maldives. This dive site is less than 10 minutes boat ride away from Kihaa and it is suitable for all experience levels. We usually find a green turtle or…

DetailsAlready in April the upcoming “Manta Season” started to announce itself with sightings of their smaller cousin, the mobula rays.

DetailsWe 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…
