MEET BONDU Faarufushi's Island Wildlife Ambassado Hi there, my name is Bondu, and I have been appointed as Faaru- fushi’s Island Wildlife Ambassador. So let me give you a bit of information about myself and my family. I am an Island Garden Lizard, the most commonly found reptile around Faarufushi. Guests love to take our photos since our vibrant colors make us interesting photo subjects. To begin my task, let me share the exciting activities at our Marine Centre, not just for the youngsters but for guests of all ages. DISCOVER FAARUFUSHI'S BREATHTAKING UNDERWATER WORLD Located at the northern extension of Raa Atoll, divers and snorkelers alike can enjoy an abundant house reef teeming with marine life – parrotfish, dwarf sepia, slipper lobster, moray eels as well as baby Napoleons, black tip sharks, lemon sharks and mérous – there are a lot to discover at Faarufushi’s breathtaking under- water world. We have marked dedicated snorkeling spots around the lagoon and share a snorkeling map to our guests to guide them as they explore around the island. Go deep with our professional team of divers from Euro-Divers Maldives and explore the 24 diving spots around the island, which are unshared with other resorts. Witness enormous swarms of fish, large schools of blue-striped snapper and masses of mackerels. Encounter nurse sharks, sting rays, eagle rays and mantas. Witness the overwhelming underwater world of the Maldives, taking the breath of even the most experienced divers. See the impressive video taken by David Löwe for Hotelsinheaven.com LET’S HEAR IT FROM THE MEDIA Glimpse what the world’s publications have to say about Faarufushi. Magical Encounters in the Maldives Scuba Diver Magazine, January 2019 Byron Conroy and Lena Kavender were seduced by the serenity and beauty – both topside and under- water – at the Faarufushi Resort in the Maldives. I am diving along the reef wall of the Faarufushi house reef together with my partner Byron and our guide Stephane. We are at about 15m depth when we spot a family of four adult eagle rays cruising towards us at the same depth. The rays were swim- ming along the wall and with seemingly no intention of changing their route. The three divers and four eagle rays pass each other from a close distance in perfect harmony. ‘Wow, this will be a cool story to tell!’ I think to myself. Byron is busy working energeti- cally with his camera to catch this unique and magical moment. Read more of the feature here | pages 22 – 28.
