Maldives

Despite the reputation of the Maldives as being a world-class diving destination, this is the first really comprehensive fish guide specifically aimed at these islands. More than 50 new species for the Maldives are published for the first time and, with over 1100 superb underwater photographs that include almost every fish that divers are likely to see, this book is the perfect guide to check on that mystery' fish after each dive. The book is compact, easy to use and a handy size to carry to dive locations. The introduction explains the basics of fish-science, behaviour and evolution and there are detailed drawings on fish features, shapes and colour patterns. To assist divers, an innovative concept is used to allow easy retrieval and identification of species. Small silhouettes of the families are distributed as thumbprints throughout the book and families are color coded for quick access. Whilst text for each species is brief, it describes points of interest and differences between similar species. This book portrays the fishes from this respected author's practical point of view and divers can expect to learn a great deal from this valuable reference.

Scattered like rings across the Indian Ocean, the 26 atolls that comprise the Maldives are a diver’s mecca. Encompassing channels, pinnacles and walls, the sites here have lyrical names that match their beauty.

Prolific fish life ranges from funny little blennies to massive, friendly Napoleonfish. Divers are transported to the reefs on colorful traditional dhonis and luxurious safari dive boats. This book describes 78 of the best sites in the Maldives, with full-color photos taken in the wake of El Niño damage.

You’ll get specific information on:

• dive site topography and access
• safari boats, including contact information

“Once upon a time I got drunk and bought a sailboat from the bar maid in my favorite bar” seemed like an appropriate opening for my story since that is exactly how it all started.
It ended with a 5 year sailing adventure that will take you around the circumference of the world using both hemispheres for a total of 33,194 miles of cruising through 23 seas and oceans, resting in 172 ports on 64 islands in 34 countries.
I had the privilege to serve as the Master of the sailing yacht “MillenniumUSA” with 62 different crew members, men and women, (we even call our guests “crew” so we don’t have to pamper them) on different parts of this voyage. ‘Master’, may clearly be an exaggeration since, due to my liberal use of the traditional rum ration, I was neither forced to use the lash nor the plank to maintain discipline; just more rum!
This is one part of a 10 part Series from my Book, “Pour me another rum – I’m going to sail around the world” “The Five Year Voyage”. It has been developed for those readers who wish to experience just a “taste” of the adventures of sailing around the world on their own yacht or for those who are interested only in specific parts of the world. So pour yourself a rum and climb aboard.

Part 1 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the Shake Down Cruise in the Mediterranean Sea. Getting ready to Cruise: My Seven P’s - Passion, Planning, Purchasing, Possession, Provision, Preparations and Push Off.

Part 2 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to start the Round the World Voyage and sail the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Part 3 - Pour me another rum – I’m going to sail the Caribbean Sea and visit the Turks & Caicos, Leeward, Windward, Virgin, San Blas and the ABC Islands and the Panama Canal.

Part 4 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the Pacific Ocean and visit Galapagos, Marquesas, and Cook Islands and Polynesia.

Part 5 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the South Pacific and visit New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.

Part 6 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail Down Under, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.

Part 7 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the Java Sea and Malacca Straits to Bali, Burma, Singapore, South China Sea, and Phuket.

Part 8 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the Indian Ocean and Red Sea and visit Sri Lanka, Maldives, Oman, Djibouti, Egypt and the Suez Canal.

Part 9 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and visit Turkey, Greece and the Corinth Canal.

Part 10 - Pour me another rum - I’m going to sail the Central Mediterranean Sea, Malta, Tunisia and Southern Italy - Ending the Round the World Voyage.

Maldives

It's strange to think that the lowest, flattest country in the world is in fact perched atop one of the most impressive mountain ranges on the planet and that these lofty peaks are flecked with sand instead of snow. From the Lakshadweep Islands off India's west coast all the way to the British Indian Ocean Territories of Chagos, the 2000m high Deccan Plateau is a result of two tectonic plates meeting. The magma spewed out, massive volcanoes were formed, before sinking back into the sea, leaving behind the rings of limestone and coral we now call atolls. Circular reefs and their passes have turned out to be a pretty good shape for wave creation and this chain just happens to have 26 atolls slung across 2200km (1370mi) of ocean that receives plenty of pulses from the Great Southern Ocean.

Maldives

This is a short guide to Maldives travel and general travel related information. The Republic of Maldives is an island nation in the Indian Ocean of more than three hundred thousand inhabitants. The primary industry of the country is tourism and their resorts include some of the most amazing experiences in the entire world. The guide:

* Has a list of Malidves resorts, including their web address
* References top Maldives travel related websites
* Written by ex-pats who lived in Maldives for over a year
* Help from native Maldivians to ensure 100% accuracy at time of publishing

I wrote this short intro to Maldives after a year and a half of living in Maldives so I hope that you benefit from my experiences. Find out what to do with kids or what to look for in your vacation of a lifetime to the Maldive Islands. The resorts included in this guide are only those we personally visited during our time in Maldives, as a result, are far more insightful than a second or third hand account.
