Hanifaru trip onboard the Atoll Cruiser

A dive expedition to Hanifaru, Baa Atoll from 2nd - 9th August onboard the Atoll Cruiser was a real success. The divers from India and UK did some pretty great dives at Hanifaru bay for 4 days and also snorkeled with Mantas and Whale Sharks. ADI co-founder and famous DJ Nikhil Chinapa joined the trip as well. We're going to be sending one of our cameraman on board the Atoll Cruiser and her sister vessel Finolhu on their scheduled trips from October. So keep an eye out for breath taking underwater and surf videos and photos.
