Sting rays at Chicken Island, Maldives

Our second dive of the day was at Chicken Island

no, they don't have swimming chicken there...hahah

there used to be a chicken farm on the island - hence the name

great spot to see big groups of sting rays

so again we had to hang around,  actually this time we could sit on the sandy bottom and

let them come to us

and they did....so close....
enjoy...many pictures...

see the big leopard murray eel to the left ? so many of them....

and they where sharing crests...big giant eels with leopard eels....

I'll show you more I promise

there's a big giant murray eel in the crest to the left...Mr M almost put his hand on it !

see the murray eel ?

coming down the mountain....

fantastic dive

it truly is a wonderful world under water

but you should pay respect both to creatures and environment

the coral reefs with its inhabitants needs protection
