View ArchiveThila Country: South Ari Atoll from Omadhoo
“Eight dives across South Ari Atoll's thila systems from a base on Omadhoo — Fish Head's grey reef shark aggregations, Mahaana Thila's split pinnacle, Banana Reef's crescent wall, and the house reef at night.”
Below the Equator: Fuvahmulah, Huvadhoo and Addu
“The deep south runs 500 kilometres below Malé across three distinct locations — Fuvahmulah's tiger shark walls, Huvadhoo's channel aggregations, and Addu's WWII wreck — each driven by the same Indian Ocean upwelling that keeps the water cold and the predators close.”
Maldives — Atolls, Reefs and Island Life
“One thousand two hundred islands spread across the Indian Ocean like a scattered necklace — the Maldives is as much an experience above the water as below it. Overwater bungalows, local island culture, and some of the most biodiverse reef systems on the planet exist within a few nautical miles of each other.”
Dauin and Apo Island – Muck Diving and the Marine Sanctuary
“Negros Oriental's southwest coast runs two entirely different dives in the same day: Dauin's volcanic black sand slopes where frogfish and pygmy seahorses occupy every square metre, and Apo Island's marine sanctuary where hawksbill turtles and walls of jackfish make the case for what protected reef looks like.”
Malapascua – Thresher Sharks and Kalanggaman Island
“Malapascua at dawn: descend to the seamount before the sun clears the horizon and wait, motionless, for the thresher sharks to arrive for their cleaning station appointment.”
The Philippines — 7,641 Islands and the Heart of the Coral Triangle
“7,641 islands scattered across the western Pacific, at the epicentre of the Coral Triangle. The Philippines holds some of the most biodiverse reef systems on earth alongside white-sand beaches, volcanic landscapes, colonial towns, and a diving culture built around the world's only thresher shark cleaning station.”
