these are the pictures from my trip to the maldives! i went with my parents because i wanted to scubadive with my dad! he dives for 30 years now, but i just started this year! i had 5 dives before we went to the maldives and came home with 18! next time i take non limit diving! lol! our island was called filitheyo and it was beautiful! if you think of the paradies, i think of fili!!! for the maldives it is one of the larger islands! ;o) 1000m long and 500m wide! there are about 2750 palmtrees!!! beaches with white sand and crystal blue water!!! the temperature is about 30°C and the water about 27°C! heaven!!!! we met a lot of people there and alltogether we had a lot of fun!!! my dad took all the underwater pictures! and i think as an amateur he did a very good job! i´m sorry that i don´t know the english names of all the fishes!!!and maybe sometimes i am wrong even with the german names! so if you know the english names or you think i made a mistake just let me know! i forgot, i need to tell you why there is not even one shark on a pic. at first i did not know if i wanted to see one and in the end i desperatly wanted to see them, but i missed the sharks! except for one, but at this time we had no camera! (to bad) same thing with the huge napoleon we saw!
