Following the eagle rays for an amazing dive

There is still plenty of time to book your diving holiday for this summer.

What about the Maldives? Well… Why not?

I could list a lot of good reasons for you to come here for your summer break. However, I will be nice and spare you the long list by giving you just a few examples 😉

Getting out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life without traffic lights and exhausted fumes to start your day.

Getting a little bit of a tropical tan while feasting on a large display of seafood delicacies complemented by a delightful massages to relax from this enormous boost of adrenaline, excitement and exhilaration you were exposed to while scuba diving around the island.

These are only two examples.

I have started so many lines to define what scuba diving in the Maldives is all about and every time I stop writing because the words are not matching reality. The words do not do it justice.

When I read a dive site description on the internet, I always wonder if this is real. Isn’t that beautiful description just a bit over the top, embellished and saturated in colors?

I know for example that if I try to put into words this morning dive we just enjoyed, you are going to take me for a lunatic, thinking that I am swelling it all up.

Here is what happened:

The divers and I jumped into the blue with 35 meters visibility. I drifted along the reef, carried by a gentle current taking me towards the reef corner. For over 8 minutes, I saw nothing but blue and darker blue. Then suddenly in front of me a school of eagle rays coming straight toward me! Of course they turned round and left 🙁

I was a bit gloomy to have seen them for only 30 seconds when I got surprised by grey reef sharks appearing all around us, 6, 7, 10, 15… with the 12 eagle rays coming back! I swam on their side, closing down on the school and unexpectedly, I found myself being one of them, in the middle of the pack, following the squadron for a amazing flight 🙂

This was 5 minutes of Magic…!

I can already hear people already saying now: “… yeh… yeh… yeh… in your dreams…” and I have not yet mentioned the last 20 minutes of the dive that got even better.

And this is my point! You have to get online, book the diving trip of a lifetime, dive it and live the story to tell about it. Then, people will think that you are also a dreamer, but you will know the truth.

Looking forward to seeing you very soon here at Euro-Divers Kandooma Maldives.
