Dear Reader ,
hundreds of years the Maldivian islands have just been small dots on the ancient maps of asian sailors – if there have been any maps at all .
It is almost unbelievable that modern times have made the – so to say long hidden – atolls of the Maldives ( almost ) every diver ‘ s dream .
It is that fabulous mixture of „ not around the corner “ and „ not really out of this world “ which keeps the fame of the destination since the Austrian
marine biologist Hans Hass and his expedition made the reefs and animals in ths part of the world an ever lasting legend . Today , it is a lot easier to go even to distant islands and to discover almost untouched reefs . Opened in 2017 , Filaidhoo in the Raa Atoll is one of the new diver islands .
This special edition of diving7seas will tell you all you have to know to dive there . But watch out : once you dived the Maldives you might get addicted !
