Day6 Sat Jan19: Gaathufushi

Todays grueling agenda is an all day picnic on the island of Dhiggiri and our dives will be local to this island



Dhiggiri Island

Afternoon Dhiggiri reef dive

Depth 21.4 metres, 53 minutes


















What did you think of that dive Judith?


















Night dive at Dhiggiri Reef . depth 15.6metres, 45 minutes.

As I suspected the night dive was an anti-climax but Agatas first so we gave it a go. Since it was not totally dark on descent it was a gentle introduction to night diving. Clearly however when dark the only visibility was via our torches. Perhaps the best way would be to have an infinitely more powerful torch to enable us to see something ... wait, let's call it a daytime dive! So to restate for marcus, night dives == not appreciated.
