Amazing footage of the usually-shy eels swimming right up to divers.

No eels or groupers this time around on the Sea Emperor but there WAS this very friendly southern stingray......

This is why you shouldn't stick your head in an octopus den... it'll probably try to rip your face off.

Sun, sand and sea, a thousand ‘Robinson Crusoe’ islands, massive lagoons with different depths and infinite shades of blue and turquoise, dazzling underwater coral gardens; a perfect natural combination   more...for the ideal tropical holiday destination. However there is more to the Maldives than just that.

This group of 1190 coral islands is also a major destination for scuba divers, who come for the fabulous reefs and the wealth of marine life; however, this is not a place for low budget backpackers or amateur anthropologists who want to travel independently and live as the locals do.  less

World’s first ever undersea restaurant called “Ithaa” was opened at the Maldives Hilton Resort & Spa.

The official opening of the restaurant is scheduled for 27th June 2005.

Ithaa ( which is pronounced   more...“ee-tha” and means “pearl” in the language of Maldives, Dhivehi sits five metres below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic walls, offering diners 270 degrees of panoramic underwater views.

Seating only 14 people, Ithaa offers one of the most intimate and exclusive dining experiences in the world. The cuisine is "contemporary Maldivian" (local spices and traditional flavours with a Western twist).

“We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives,” says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. “Our guests always comment on being blown away by the color, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views—without ever getting their feet wet.”  less

Isla De Guadalupe Mexico.

Langkawi, a cluster of 99 islands separated from mainland Malaysia by the Straits of Malacca, is a district of the state of Kedah in Northern Malaysia and lies approximately 51km west of Kedah. The total   more...land mass of the islands is 47,848 hectares, while the main island of Langkawi itself has a total of 32,000 hectares. The main island spans about 25km from north to south and slightly more for east and west. The coastal areas consist of flat, alluvial plains punctuated with limestone ridges. Two thirds of the island is dominated by forest - covered mountains, hills and natural vegetation.The name "Langkawi" is believed to be related to the kingdom of Langkasuka, centred in modern-day Kedah. The historical record is sparse, but a Chinese Liang Dynasty record (c. 500 AD) refers to the kingdom of "Langgasu" as being founded in the 1st century AD. 'Langkawi' mean's Eagle Island, it may be noted, and indeed there is a great abundance of eagles in the area. In Kuah, there is an eagle monument in Eagle Square which commemorates the origin of Langkawi's name.

Langkawi is also the site of the Mahsuri legend. The legend speaks of a young woman who was accused of adultery and was executed by the public despite her pleading innocence. Mahsuri, before her death, made a curse on the island for seven generations of bad luck. Langkawi eventually came under the influence of the Sultanate of Kedah, but Kedah was conquered in 1821 by Siam and Langkawi along with it. The Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 transferred power to the British, who held the state until independence, except for a brief period of Thai rule under the Japanese occupation of Malaya during World War II. Thai influences remain visible in the culture and food of Langkawi, while Thai language is still understood by many on the island.

Langkawi was the site of the Langkawi Declaration, issued by the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations and making environmental sustainability one of the priorities of the Commonwealth.  less
