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. |
Medhufushi | Each of one dive in the morning and afternoon while I stayed in Medhufushi. Coming back to the resort for lunc except one day for far day trip. While I have been in the island, I took photos. Houever it was dry season, it has been raining two day I didn't see any Japanese. |

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. |
Singapore | I walked around the Orhard Road, the Qlarke Quay and the Ruffles Place, and back to the airport by train. |
