Feb. 2012 Maldives, Singapore         

Summary Fourth time to visit Maldives, I have been in Maldives three times, Biyadhoo, Olhuveli and Liveaboard with Bolifushi.
I have been main atolls in Maldives by the Liveaboard, though all resorts I stayed were the South Make Atoll by chance.
I chose the Medhufushi Island Resort in the Meemu Atoll, moving by a seaplane for the first time.
It was difficult to reserve resorts directly, so I selected to reserve a package tour by travel agencies.
Appointing airlines as the SQ: the Singapore Airlines, I planed to stop in Singapore both of on the way and back.
Singapore  I arrived in Singapore at early morning.
Since the departure time to Male was at night, I walked around the bay area and had lunch.
After that, I headed to the airport in the evening.
It seemed that we have to pay money in Singapore when not finished but the dishs were served.
 
 
Seaplane I departed in Singapore at night, and arrived at the Hulhule Airport in the morning.
I moved from the airport to the boarding place of the seaplanes by car.
I was abel to see beautiful sea and atolls around noon,
but it was not beautiful on the way back since the sun went down.

  We usually dive with the buddy system in Maldives.
We are able to continue diving when we are strayed from a dive guide or a group
Then we continue diving with a buddy, having a safety stop and blowing up a balloon in the end.
Those happened a few times, because of the strong current.

Stopping
Male
Island

I arrived in the Hulhule Island at afternoon, then I had some time by the departure.
I decided to visit the Male Island, though ther was a coup several days before.
I am not sure if I paied a guide for USD10 or 20 as a tip.
The map I bought at a souvenir shop at that time is so useful, because aerial shoots of the resorts on the back side.
So I am able to tell what the name of the resorts are the photos I took in the planes.
