Diving the South Ari Atoll from Outrigger on Maafushivaru

We do love our winter chill out time in the Maldives and have been going for over 20 years but never go to the same island twice as there are so many to try. We do however seem to like the Ari Atoll especially the south part of it. We’ve been to many resorts there and Constance Moofushi and Diamonds Atharuga which we’ve stayed on are probably visible from Outrigger but every island has its own identity.

Hopefully it’ll be manta time. This trip will first outing for new dive video gear. After years using large cameras and many lights it’s time to slim things down so have joined the ranks of the action cam brigade and bought an Insta360 Ace Pro2, if reviews are to believed it is the best thing since sliced bread. Not one to put all eggs in one basket the first few dives will be with both set ups just to make sure…….. If it is as good as they say the old set up will quickly be history and on eBay.
