I would really love to dive there! Perhaps one day... Best, Kari
I am just a snorkeler at best and as such was confined to what was available within walking/swimming distance from the beach. One day, Kari, you must, if you have the time and if it is not too far from your location. It took me only four hours by plane. But the trip costed me the retail price of the current PO 8500. That was the only bad thing about it. Ruckdee
it must be totally 8-10 hours flight. Austrian Airlines is flying from Vienna and from here it's around 2.5 hours to the central Europe. I have many DM and Instructor colleagues who have been diving in Maldives. They all say that it is stunning and diving there is very easy. I guess it would make perfect diving holidays. The trip is costing what it's costing but a good housing for the camera is 4-5 k. Anyhow, it would be wonderful to make a photography diving trip to Maldives. And I guess I coul
Nothing is better than that, of course. Regarding camera, as I am not a real diver, I did not invest in a proper housing for my DSLR and chose instead to buy an affordable water resistant camera from Panasonic.

Who would want to know precisely what time it was while on vacation in such a placid locale? Fabulous travelogue, Ruckdee . . . that was quite an effort. Cordially, Art
Thank you very much Art for letting me know the input is appreciated. Speaking of serene and placid, I think I must share this series of photographs I took upon arrival from the entrance, through the bedroom and to the bedroom window. The wind was quite calm and there was hardly a noise. It was all quiet, except for the occasional waves that splashed against the support structure of the over water bungalow. Ruckdee
