An unusual display of the sky and underwater. Your pic of few sun rays is the moment to die for!

Ciao, noi siamo stati per 2 settimane a BH nel 1998, se non ricorso male. le prime 2 settimane di inaugurazione del villaggio, a fine febbraio primi di marzo, durante la riproduzione dei coralli. allora come biologa marina c'era una ragazza di Monza che ci accompagnava durante lo snorkelling e talvolta durante le immerisoni. il villaggio era gestito da una coppia di ragazzi Croati con 2 bimbi piccolissimi. mentre il divemaster, se no mi ricordo male si chiamava Paolo. ho un ricordo ottimo di quella vacanza. mare incredibile, immersioni splendide, tempo perfetto! ciao

Dear Paolo, looking over those pictures reminded me of when I worked in Bodu Huraa for 3 months, I was wondering where you there for work or just traveling?? If you or anyone reading this comment want to see some pictures, I took when I was in Bodu Huraa click here www.flickr.com/photos/miyaruman

We went in the first week of March 1998, with an Italian Touroperator....by plane from Milano to Malè, then with the boat to the Atoll; Maldives are a very common Holiday in Italy. the most part of the Resorts on the atolls are property of Italian Tour Operators Companies. I think that the biggest part of the tourists are Italians, a small part from Japan and the rest from Europe. very few Americans and Australians. ciao
