Simply amazing! I was surrounded by so many colourful fish, and then my guide pointed at a Rock Lobster which I would have never noticed. It was so calm and I couldn’t believe how close I got. Such a special experience I’ll always remember.

The house reef at Milaidhoo is alive with colours and life. While snorkelling, I had the privilege of seeing a squid for the first time in my life. It’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. Thank you Ocean Stories team.
