    Mag Bay – The heart of the most rewarding sardine run lays in Mexico

    December 26, 2024 /

    Scuba diving in Haa Alifu Atoll – Discovering the pristine far north of the Maldives

    October 5, 2024 /

    Scuba diving in Haa Alifu atoll is very special because there is virtually no tourism development in the far north of the Maldives. This means that the reefs are mostly untouched.

Being isolated and secluded from the major environmental damages that come along with building resorts and big island cities, here you can get a glimpse of what it used to be like in the Maldives before it became one of the world’s leading tourist destinations. Haa Alifu, the northernmost atoll in the country, boasts a mix of sites suitable for all…

🤿 The most important piece of dive gear for me 🤿 The most important piece of dive gear for me is the mask and having a good one makes all the difference! 👌🏻

💡A few tips on dive masks:

😶‍🌫️ FOGGING
👉🏻 For new masks - 🪥 smear grainy toothpaste on the inside of the mask, leave overnight and wash thoroughly. Soak well and scrub off the toothpaste, you don’t want any of that coming into your eyes.
👉🏻 Before each dive - there are different ways to prevent your mask from fogging. 🧴 You can use a drop of baby shampoo or a defog spray. 💦 Alternatively, you can simply spit in your mask. This creates a thin layer on the inside of the glass, which prevents it from fogging. Be careful not to wash that layer off when ringing the mask before putting it on!

😵‍💫 HEADACHE 
👉🏻 An ill-fitting mask can sometimes cause headache. Try loosening the strap. If you need to wear that mask very rightly, this means it does not fit your face well (see next point) 

🙄 LEAKING 
👉🏻 If your mask leaks during the dives, then it does not fit your face properly, thus it is not well sealed. When buying a new mask, look for one which has soft and thinner silicone around the rim for a better seal! 💦

🛍️NEW MASK
🛒 If you are buying a new mask, remember it needs to fit YOUR face, so something your buddy is comfortable with does not mean it would be the best option for you too 😉

When trying on a mask, place it over your face without putting on the strap and inhale normally through your nose. The mask should stay on your face without you holding it. This is a sign for a good seal/fit 😎👌🏻
