Vincent Poon :: The Residence Maldives - Marine Life
 
One of the reasons why I tolerated such a hellish travelling time to this island was because of the excellent coral reef and its close proximity to the island
 
If you were lucky to get a sunset facing villa, all you needed is the ability to fin for 5 minutes and you will be rewarded with the splendid view of the Falhumaafushi reef! (OK the turtle was from another place...)

After the "u jump, i jump" event, we officially started our snorkeling business
For those who were not good swimmers, you could hang on to the lifeguard ring and the instructor (facing camera) will take care of you during the trip... hand on, it's a bit crowded?
From where we snorkeled, the water was quite deep, though we saw a variety of fishes and corals
First time I saw a turtle in the wild, first in my real life!!

Another one.... (sorry about the quality of the photo)
On the last day the water was so clear that I could see what was waiting for me underneath our platform
Despite the danger I braved myself to descend the ladder and found that there were actually two of them!
Haven't seen one so close to me in real life!

There were not many corals near shore
This was left there to allow the corals to grow back after the Tsunami
The colour of the corals were definitely no match to those in other places like Great Barrier Reef, yet not many places you could just swim to the reef minutes from your own room
