Inspiration Through Nature

Diving in the Maldives – Huvadhoo, the forgotten atoll

Alexander von Mende

The author invites you to visit Huvadhoo, the forgotten atoll of the Maldives, to enjoy its marvels of clear blue water, see for yourself its amazing marine inhabitants and meet its friendly people.

This book is an exciting source of important and detailed information about the marine ecosystem of this atoll (as well as being relevant to other atolls in the Maldives group and further afield in the Indian Ocean). It covers 34 dive sites, including maps. Without doubt, it is a superb guide to the huge biodiversity present. All the colour photographs have been taken by the author, a trained marine biologist and expert diver, whilst the text is interspersed with enjoyable anecdotes about the joys of exploring this region and diving on the reefs.
