Honeymoon Liveaboard 2013 - MV Orion - Dive #17 Lankan Manta Point - South Male Atoll, Maldives This was the last dive of our Liveaboard trip in 2013 :-( We spent the whole afternoon traveling with the Orion to another atoll, closer to Male, for the last dive. We were promised a manta cleaning station, but never saw any mantas. The current was insanly strong and we really had to hold on the corals when stopping. Really cool just drifting over the reef. Towards the end of the dive me and Silje went our own way and saw a turtle and a huge Napoleon fish! A really nice last dive :-) What we saw: - turtle - Napoleon fish - all the usual reef suspects

Honeymoon Liveaboard 2013 - MV Orion - Dive #16 Maaya Thila - North Ari Atoll, Maldives This was the same location as yesterday's night dive. Things were pretty much upside down this time. Most of the sharks ans other hunters were either gone or just takkng it easy, while all the little reef fish, the ones that usually hide/sleep during the night, was up and about. I did see a few small white til shark on the reef and what seemed to be a pretty big grey reef shark in the distance. Most of my attention, and thus also the photos, were directed at the smaller creatures. All in all a very nice and relaxing dive. What we saw: - White tip sharks - Grey Reef Shark - all the usual reef suspects
