RSB Dive Trip to the Maldives, 2011

Mr Boyle and Mr Dowswell took 8 students in November on the 7th annual dive trip to Bandos Island in The Maldives. The students completed up to 15 dives in 6 days in a number of locations around the North Atoll region and came face to face with a huge variety of sea life, including huge 6 metre wide manta rays, giant moray eels, scorpion fish, lionfish and loggerhead turtles. The students developed their diving techniques and became more confident and responsible divers as they completed shore dives, boat dives and drift dives in warm water offering superb visibility. Everybody involved cannot wait to return to the Maldives for Bandos 2012!
