Album: Maldives, April 2008
Royal Island, commonly known as Horubadhoo, located in Baa atoll, 113km North West of Malé, the capital city of the Maldives, was our destination this time. Of a total of 50 islands in the Baa atoll, only one fifth of them are inhabited. Some of these neighboring uninhabited islands are used as picnic spots. Due to the location of Baa atoll it is influenced by the southwest monsoon, especially from May to July, bringing in large quantities of nutrients from the surrounding ocean which attract whale sharks and manta rays. The main occupation of the people of this atoll is tuna fishery. We had a great time on this little island (800 x 300 m), sailing, snorkling and diving.
