From 18-25 October I led a terrific group on a Bluewater Photo Workshop in the Maldives. We had guests from Australia, Brazil, Estonia, France, Spain, Thailand, and the USA. We started in the Maldivian capital, Male, which has 154,000 people living on a 5.8 km island, making it one of the worldsmostmost densely populated cities. Airport transfer to our luxurious home for the week, the MV Carpe Vita,was quick and easy. She is easily the most spacious dive boat Ive been on, with excellent facilities and a helpful crew.
