Hi there! So after my action packed first week that included learning about  El Nino’s effects, relocating slow growing coral, removing crown of thorns star fish and the arrival of the manta rays

Hi, I’m Dylan, the new Marine Biology intern!

It is with great pleasure that I announce the Manta Season has officially begun at Gili Lankanfushi!

We have noticed the usual colours draining from our beautiful corals over the last few weeks.

Even though the water is crystal clear, and we can see a huge array of marine life on our doorstep, myself and Josie have been receiving requests to see Manta rays over Easter.

We have had a busy week here in the Marine Biology section as we welcomed more international researchers to our little slice of paradise!

The beauty of diving in the Maldives is that a wonderful surprise can occur at any time.

At Gili Lankanfushi we offer an incredibly popular Dolphin Cruise. Usually we have fantastic sightings of the delightfully acrobatic Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris).

A very Merry Christmas to you all from Josie, Jon, myself and the rest of the marine team here at Gili Lankanfushi!
