- Beginning of October 2023 we had the chance to visit the famous Hanifaru bay at the Baa Atoll, Maldives. Diving in the heart of a Unesco protected biosphere like the Baa Atoll is a great reminder how beautiful our ocean can be if the right measurements are taken to protect it.
All underwater footage was filmed with the Lumix S1H in a Nauticam housing, the drone shots were captured with the DJI Mavic 3 and Geprc cinebot 30.

Hey Joel, this is one of the best vlogs I have seen for a long time. Keep it up man. Great work 🎉🤙🏼
Hey bro really appreciate it man, thanks a lot ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾 wouldnt have been possible without your guidance and the whole team 🎉
No way this is your first VLog. Well done! How does it feel for a seemingly experienced scuba diver to free dive in Hanifaru Bay? I have the impression that it must be very touristy, isn’t it? I am planning to go this year but I’m afraid to be disappointed as I was in South Ari trying to Freedive with whalesharks in the middle of a million snorkelers. Do you have any suggestions?
Hey thanks a lot Rafael!! yes indeed my first Vlog, but I work as a videographer so that surely made it easier :)
It is a bit touristy and of course what you dont see on the videos is all the people that are in the water too but its not too bad in my opinion and I saw much worse. I would say the days we were at the bay, we averagely had 10-30 people in the water and the bay is fairly big and the mantas travel around in the bay, so you can always get away from the crowd for a moment. Just for the experience of freediving with all the Mantas, I think its definitely worth it as most people stay on the surface and if you can dive down a bit, only a handful is down there with you. It does makes it tricky for Photo and video and I had to get very strategic to find good angles with nobody in the background. Season also plays a big factor. I think September/ October is the perfect timeframe, as its monsoon season, so less tourists there and its also the peak time for the mantas as they have the most plankton availability. Over all a great place and up there with other great spots I dived at, the combo of Hanifaru bay and the great scuba diving makes it a really nice spot. Ah and whale sharks can be found but ofc its all about luck. As a reference, during our 14 days there, we had 3x at Hanifaru bay and 3x whale shark interactions
amazing mate
Muchas gracias bro ❤
hello!! that’s wonderful video showing the beautiful underwater world around the island..
i’ve booked my dive trip to dharavandhoo island next month. do we need to get any permission prior to fly drone around dharavandhoo island ? i’m planning take my drone with me. it’s mavic mini 2.
hi there and thanks a lot! As far as I know of, there is no licence or anything needed. I also didnt get approached by anyone, flying a mavic 3 and also fpv drones which both do attract more attention than a mavic mini. Just stay away from the airport side of the island and keep an eye out for the small water planes and you should be good to go. Enjoy your trip, its an amazing place!
@@JoelSharks tats cool!! thank you so much bro..
@@drks1987 no worries, wish you a good time there, super cool place! 🙌🏾
Is that only a certain spot only for Manta rays in dharavandhoo? Casual diving can dance with them alrdy?
@@user-pn6rg4ks1i yeah you can be lucky on scuba dives and cross paths with a Manta if you are lucky! But not in the same numbers as in the Hanifaru bay
