Kuredu Island: A Memorable Journey in the Maldives
Jump to:
Arrival and First Impressions
- Long Journey: Our trip was an adventure in itself. We flew from Sweden to Finland, then to Sri Lanka, and finally to Male. From there, we hopped on a helicopter to Kuredu. Nowadays, you can take a boat or seaplane, which is likely a bit smoother!
- Island Beauty: The moment we landed, we were captivated by the turquoise waters and powdery white sand. It felt like stepping into a postcard.
Diving Adventures
- Scuba Diving: As a passionate diver, Kuredu was a dream. The underwater world is vibrant and teeming with life. One of my favorite spots was The Wall, where the coral formations and marine life were simply breathtaking.
- Shark Dive Incident: One dive, in particular, turned into quite an adventure. We set out for a shark dive on a day with high waves. I got seasick but managed to dive anyway. The current pulled us in the opposite direction from the dive team, and we surfaced to find ourselves alone with no boat in sight. It was a nerve-wracking 45 minutes floating above a shark-rich drop-off until the boat finally found us. An adrenaline rush, to say the least!
Memorable Moments
- Beach Night: One evening, we enjoyed a magical event on the beach where a famous underwater photographer showcased his stunning photos to the soundtrack of “The Big Blue.” It was a mesmerizing experience.
- Delicious Food: The food on Kuredu was amazing. We loved the spicy dishes that packed a punch but were incredibly flavorful. One night, after a day of deep-sea fishing, the chefs prepared our catch for dinner, making it a truly special meal. Spending the day on the ocean and then having our catch cooked for us was an unforgettable experience.
