Shark swimming with colorful fish near a coral reef in clear blue ocean water.

March 24 – April 7, 2017

Back to the Maldives, diving around Kuramathi Island — a place that never loses its magic underwater. The conditions were perfect: warm water, endless visibility, and marine life at every turn.

We encountered reef sharks, rays, turtles, and large schools of fish, often surrounded by shimmering light filtering through the surface. The coral reefs were vibrant and healthy, full of texture and movement. Watching batfish glide by, eagle rays appear out of the blue, and a curious moray eel peek from the coral reminded us why this region is so special.

Surface intervals were just as relaxing — floating in calm turquoise lagoons, enjoying the island’s peaceful rhythm, and reviewing photos from each dive. A perfect balance between adventure and serenity.
