Maldives Baby! Kandooma Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 4 – A Pod of Spinner Dolphins!!
After snorkeling with nurse sharks, reef sharks, moray eels, lovely coral reef fish, and a Hawksbill sea turtle, it was time to return to our island paradise, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma!

Maldives Baby! Kandoomaa Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 4 – Coral Reef Snorkeling – Hawksbill Sea Turtle
At least I think this is a Hawksbill sea turtle – it is difficult to identify precisely by looking at these pictures because I didn’t get a clear enough shot of his (or her) beak. I’m thinking maybe a Hawksbill because the beak does seem to have a sharper, more curved edge? I might be…

Maldives Baby! Kandoomaa Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 4 – Snorkeling With Nurse Sharks
I don’t think I gave myself enough time to be scared because I jumped in the water right after our snorkeling guide! Nurse sharks are harmless. Well, they typically are – yet have very strong jaws filled with serrated teeth and if bothered, will bite in defense. However, it still was a bit daunting, that…
Maldives Baby! Kandoomaa Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 4 –Morning Birds & Morning Snorkel
My morning walk to the island’s South Beach to snorkel had two delightful surprises of a large grey heron and a white-breasted waterhen!

After an amazing day, it was time to settle in for sunset and some dinner! But first, there was the once-a-week shark feeding! Blacktip and whitetip reef sharks were the regular attendees!
