Video of two men fly fishing in the Maldives.  The Maldives is an excellent destination for fly fishing. The clear, still blue waters mean you can see the bottom of the ocean in so many places, that fly fishing in the Maldives is relatively easy.  There are many fish to catch here, including the barracuda, tarpon and trevally.

Cool video of a market person gutting a tuna… I love the music!  Shows how clean the fish market at Male is and you can see the amazing quality of the fresh fish in the Maldives.

This video is taken by a person snorkeling up close with a gorgeous manta ray in the North Male Atoll in the Maldives.  It’s great to watch the manta ray gliding through the water, completely unafraid of the snorkeler.  Manta rays are one of the biggest attractions to scuba divers and snorkelers going to the Maldives.

This video, filmed on location in the Maldives, shows a school of Surgeonfish swarming around a coral formation. Surgeonfish are members of the Acanthuridae (“thorn tail”) family, which also includes tangs and unicornfishes. The family includes about 80 species in six genera, all of which are marine fish living in tropical seas, usually around coral reefs. Many of the species are brightly colored and popular for aquaria.

The distinctive characteristic of the family is the spines, one or more on either side of the tail, which are dangerously sharp. Both the dorsal and anal fins are large, extending for most of the length of the body. The small mouths have a single row of teeth used for grazing on algae.^[1]

Most species are relatively small and have a maximum length of 15-40 cm (6-16 in), but some members of the genus Acanthurus, some members of the genus Prionurus, and most members of the genus Naso can grow larger, with the whitemargin unicornfish (N. annulatus), the largest species in the family, reaching a length of up to a meter (3,3 ft). These fishes can grow quickly in aquariums so it is advisable to check the average growth size and suitability before adding to a marine aquarium.

This video shows what to expect from the solar eclipse that is scheduled to take place on January 15, 2009 and will be visible from the Maldives.  A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses. Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon’s umbra.
