This picture has been taken recently by Rosa at the Aquarium, the dive site close to Huruvalhi island between Komandoo and Kuredu.
That is a Spotted Shovelnose ray, or shark… There is a Remora (Echeneis Naucrates) waiting meanwhile he (or she) is being cleaned.
There are two main Guitar fishes, the “Bowmouth”(Rhina Ancylostoma) and the “Shovelnose”(Rynchobatus Djiddensis).
The last one is the one on the picture. (more…)
With the recent surge in digital cameras on the market and a huge increase in the number of guests we see diving and snorkeling with underwater cameras, its no surprise that more and more people are capturing incredible shots while on holiday with us.
In recognition of these great photos, we have created a special Guest Photo Gallery, which offers guests that have been diving or snorkeling with us the chance to showcase some of their best photos! (more…)
Birgit Tröshen, Elmar Lüssen, Monika Kühn and Peter Libowski our ten times repeater guests of the week. Birgit and Elmar will stay for two weeks. Monika and Peter three weeks. With plenty of good diving ahead, we hope that they enjoy it and we are glad to see them happy and smiling, even though the weather is not the best of the year.
Ten times diving with Prodivers is a lot of diving, so they deserve the “Free of Charge” diving holiday. (more…)
Maldives Komandoo scuba diving dolphins
A few days ago, Rosa & Steve went with 11 Komandoo divers to Noonu Atoll. The weather was great and the visibility fantastic. The first dive took place in perfect conditions at Orimas Thila. Just a few minutes after they jumped into the water, four grey reef sharks came to welcome the divers, along with two eagle rays and some more sharks. Three shovel nose guitar sharks had also gathered together on the sandy bottom at 25mts. The best however came at the end of the dive during the safety stop. Eight dolphins appeared from the blue and swam towards Alex, Steve and Rosa. Awesome!!! The second dive in Christmas Rock was also great. They saw 5 juvenile grey reef sharks, one white tip reef shark and two sting rays. What a great day! We have to thank Alex Kudielka for the picture of the dolphins and Neptune for all these marine presents.
During our usual morning walk around the island, we often see stingrays, baby black tip sharks and some trevallies going after the bait fish.
Herrings and crows also join the morning breakfast action trying to get some of the small stranded victims.
Today we came across to a very unusual visitor. Nothing less than a (more…)
Alex and Judith Kudielka from Germany are enjoying their tenth visit with Prodivers. This time they will stay three weeks and are planning to do around fifteen dives each. Judith and Alex have visited Vakarufalhi seven times; with this is obviously being their third to Komandoo. We are of course grateful for this loyalty and truly hope Alex and Judith continue to enjoy their diving with us in future years to come.
Five familiar faces on Komandoo; Nöel and Elisabeth Filo, Denis Hanger, plus Wendy and Gary Wilson, ready for an afternoon dive at Bodu Giri. All are enjoying their tenth time diving with Prodivers and of course the generous 100% discount that they deserve after so many visits.
Nöel and Elisabeth have been once to Vakarufalhi and nine times to Komandoo. They will stay two weeks and plan to do around twenty fives dives each. (more…)
Many people like Orchids. In fact it is the largest family of the flowering plants, with about 20.000 different species; tulips and vanilla among them. Due to the constant temperature in the Maldives of about 30 C, Orchids can survive all year round here with no need of a green house.We wanted to say goodbye to all the “audience” during this year’s edition of the Boot show with a “Sunrise on Komandoo with Orchid”. Hopefully you can come over to Komandoo soon to enjoy a dawn like this or a sunset like we saw the other day, or the beautiful underwater creatures or just to be lazy and feel the white, soft sand between your toes as you walk barefoot along the beach. Have a nice year and see you soon!!
Orchid Sunrise Komandoo Maldives
Everybody on Komandoo has the chance to have a peaceful breakfast sitting on the terrace beside the sea. Even this beautiful Maakana wants to enjoy this. Looks like he’s asking: Where is my breakfast?These birds are quite common in the Maldives and they feed mainly on small bait fish that swims in the lagoon. Maybe this one is fed up with the same menu and wants to enjoy some eggs and bacon and a cup of coffee…
Bird Breakfast Komandoo Maldives
In front of the Dive Centre on Komandoo we have a table-hut that we normally use for resort dive briefings, log book fill up or whatever other reason to gather together for a while before or after the dive. It happens to be the area with the best wi-fi coverage on the whole island! So… it becomes then the “Komandoo Cyber Café”. Probably one of the best “sea view” internet café of the World!!
