A couple of days ago Eva from Germany and Benjamin from Switzerland arrived on Kuredu to support our Snorkel Team. Both of them are joining the team with some experience between them.

Around a year ago, Prodivers teamed up with the Maldivian Manta Ray Research Project, helping them to extend their Manta Ray sighting database and subsequently (more…)
