Diving in the Maldives
In Januari 2007 we took a flight with Emirates to Malé, the capitol city of the Maldives. A group of almost 1190 islands spread over 26 Atolls, ringlike coral formations enclosing a lagoon. From these 1190 islands, only 200 are occupied by people. The island group stretches from North to South over a distance of about 820 Km and from East to West 130 Km. The capital Malé, the seat of government and the centre of trade, commerce, business, health and education, is located in the middle of the atoll chain, a small island buzzing with the sounds and activities of about 75.000 people which is about one third of the population.
