Two days ago Yaafis went out to Kuredu Express with 3 divers and once again the dive site produced the goods as they had a great dive.

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.

To coincide with the current World Cup in South Africa, we are having our own World Cup here on Kuredu, but unfortunately without the glamour and sparkle brought by the likes of Ronaldo, Torres and Kaka.

Tuuli and Markko are both from Estonia and are bringing a lot of experience to the team, having dived in the cold waters back home, as well as the warm waters of Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and Egypt.
We hope that they enjoy their time on Kuredu, and have a lot of enjoyable dives!
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 »
