Maldives Expedition October 2013

Join this exclusive X-Ray Mag / Ocean Geographic expedition to the Maldives. Photographer and Publisher, Michael Aw, author of two books and two broadcast documentaries about the Maldives, will lead this expedition to show you the mantas of Baa Atoll.

Making pictures underwater in the Maldives is akin to shooting in the world’s largest aquarium teeming with fish life; many species are predictably found in enormous numbers. Not only is the profusion of fish life amazing, but also the predictability of seeing the same fishes at the same site within soft corals in colours of rainbow is the trademark of underwater Maldives. The Maldives is the fishpond of the Indian Ocean.

Beneath the Indian Ocean is a long huge ridge, inundated by numerous far-reaching fractures.

The ridge divides into two long arms east of Madagascar. One arm snakes around Africa and links up with the Atlantic Ridge while the other arm extends to south of Australia and eventually links up with the East Pacific rise. Between East Africa and Western Australia, the midpoint of the Indian Ocean is the atolls of the Maldives.

Documented by science and through photographic evidence, the feeding phenomenon at Baa Atoll is unique and occurs nowhere else in the world.

Dive Bikini Atoll this June with Pete Mesley's Lust4Rust

Lust4Rust always bring along a Hyperbaric Doctor; this is Dr Simon J Mitchell
Standfirst: 

It is said that when you visit Bikini Atoll you don’t just dive, you are touching the face of history. Considered by those in the know as being one of the top global wreck diving destinations, in recent years Bikini has been impossible to dive, simply due to local airline reliability issues.

It was a challenge that Pete Mesley - the man who specialises in running diving expeditions to remote places - has embraced and overcome. If you are an extended range diver with a ‘Lust4Rust’, this is your perfect opportunity to dive Bikini’s nuclear fleet this year. Bikini is an amazing location for deep diving (55 metres / 175 feet). Crystal clear warm waters with no discernible current and top drawer wreck diving.
