| Summary | Second time and for the first time in four years in Maldives. I didn't have enough day, so the resort what I choose was limited. Though it was close by the Biyadoo Island that I stayed in Maldives last time. I decided to go to the Olhvel Island since it has beautiful beach. I reserved package tour of four nights and six days by the travel argency. |
||
| Itinirary | From Narita to Male by the SriLankan Airlines via Colombo. Checking in the Olhvel Island at mid night. Diving for three days and taking photos in the island. Leaving the island at evening and getting on the plane at midnight. Coming back in the Narita Airport around next noon. |
||
|
| Diving | I took the Sun International Diving School. If I remember correctly, there were three Japanese instructors: one male and two female. I recognize afterward that usually Instructors take the course and the introductory diving couse, and fan diving was held by local dive masters. Since there were many European and Japanese Instructors in Maldives, I have dived all dives with Japanese Instructors. |
||
| Check dive | When I dived in Maldives for the first time, I needed to have a check dive. The check dive was strict even though encluded detaching and attaching a mask. When I was the dive center in the early morning, it was closed. Then I tryed to go again after breakfast, the boat for morning dive already left. So I had a shore dive in the morning, though the giant slide entry from so hight pier I was able to take under water photos while I dived, instructor might observe my diving skills. |
