📷 Scuba Diving in the Maldives: Beautiful small fishes in the Vilamendhoo Island house reef!

Hey dear Steemians!

In this article I want to share some new amazing scuba diving impressions on my second blog here with you, taken by myself during my scuba diving holidays in the Maldives, South Ari Atoll, in October 2017.

Here is the first beautiful photo, taken in the house reef of the Vilamendhoo Island Resort:

As you can see in the picture, I was still at the surface when I have taken this photo, because you have to swim out for a while so that it get´s deeper, if you are starting from the beach, not from a boat.

But even at only 1-5 meters depth you can see a lot of beautiful things in the Maldives, it was so amazing to visit this paradise and I hope it will be protected against the many many destruction factors!

If you are taking a look at the ground at the photo above, you can see a lot of dead white corals, which is a result of the climate change around the world. In the Maldives it leads to that the water is mostly over 30 degrees, which is to hot for corals. A diving instructor told me that they can only survive a climate change of +/- 3 degrees difference.

And after you are swimming out enough it´s getting deeper immediately as you can see in the photo above and this is the time for me to take my regulator in the mouth & to start diving down into the deep. :-) Stay tuned for more diving stuff in the future and take a look at my main account @future24 too if you like!
