North Male Atoll 2016 July 10th, First dive: Vabbinfaru

This was the first day at the location and I had a welcome dive at the house reef. The reef used to be spectacular, but the Corals suffered a lot from the extreme heat this spring. The local Hawksbill Sea Turtle kindly obliged to pose for me.

We went into the water from the beach and turned west until half-time. We then ascended a couple of meters and returned the same way a bit higher up.
The turtle we met at the beginning was still around and allowed me to take a few more shots before ascending to the surface.
