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 – Coral Reef Snorkeling – Moray Eels
This was exciting!! We saw two moray eels!!!! I spotted this one almost immediately when we entered the water! I didn’t linger too long because these guys freak me out!

After snorkeling with nurse sharks, our next stop was a coral reef. This was an exciting coral reef snorkel because of its variety of inhabitants!

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! I later learned the white-breasted waterhen is the national bird of the Maldives! A funny selfie that I didn’t know I took of myself as I checked out the temperature of the…
Maldives Baby! Kandooma Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 3 – Coral Reef Snorkeling
After snorkeling with sea turtles, we crawled back on the boat to go to another reef to check out coral reef fish. We dropped the hook, and jumped back in! The only rule – don’t touch the coral! Maldive lobsters! Many coral reef fish! The water was murky, from recent rains, but the fish were…
Maldives Baby! Kandooma Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 3 – Snorkeling With Sea Turtles
This was an exciting boat ride to two locations! First, to snorkel with sea turtles at Turtle Point; second to snorkel along a reef. The water visibility wasn’t so great because of recent rains, but hey! Who cares! Sea turtles! The turtles were difficult to spot, as they camaflauge so well with their environment. But,…
