Sun Resort Island, Extreme South of Atoll Ari. Large Island where Alex got her PADI OW and I got my Advanced OW. Not a lot to see... it's the Maldives, always the same: the sensation is better than the view. We got so much sun, heat and dives that I finished sick.
Nikon D700 with manual (no microprocessor) 20 mm f 1:3.5 and micro 105 mm f 1: 2.8; and Canon D10 until it got water inside; plus the pictures taken by Audrey and Vadim with their waterproof camera.
Departure from Malé in speedboat (2.5 hours to go!). We'll come back by water plane (30 minutes)
Enough time to see the sunset before arriving at night
The pier where we landed
The Italian restaurant next to the pier
And a 300 meters footbridge to the land
After dinner at 21:00 stingray feeding
and one hour later sharks (by the Thai restaurant)
Looks nice, but these private islands can't be reached
Can be rented though for the evening and an ugly amount of dollars
From our "deluxe" bungalow
And in front of it. Bicycle make sense as everything is far away
On the other side another footbridge to the expensive water bungalows and in the back the Thai restaurant
Snorkeling is also good there. But the best is from the Italian restaurant
Start of the Canon D10 series, snorkeling only
Was OK until it got water inside!
Start of Audrey's pictures while leading a dive first with Alex
Then a second dive with Alex and Fredy
Finally a collection of pictures taken by Vadim and Audrey
