The first two teams to meet each other in the Semi Final are the Dolphins versus the Turtles. Earlier we mentioned all the advantages of the different teams and this time we have to make special mention of the goal keepers.

Around the same time last year, divers from Kuredu and Komandoo had some great encounters with Silvertip Sharks on KFFC. The good news is, they are back!
It seems that the year away from the waters of the Lhaviyani Atoll has also allowed them to lose their fear of cameras as we have had them coming very close to pose for photographs.
After an initial sighting at KFFC, one of our instructors, Markus, returned to Read the rest of this entry »

There are two main Guitar fishes, the “Bowmouth”(Rhina Ancylostoma) and the “Shovelnose”(Rynchobatus Djiddensis).
The last one is the one on the picture. Read the rest of this entry »
