Along for the ride
For Lotta Schwarz, the sea has been a central part of her life. Just over forty years ago, she backpacked to Egypt and ended up at a hippie camp on the Red Sea. There she was given a loan of a cyclops and was completely floored by the magical underwater world. She got her diving certificate – and that's the way it is. Today she is a Master Scuba Diver, underwater photographer and professional WWF Whale Watching Guide.
In Lotta's professional life, she has worked as a photographer and designer, mainly in the press, but also with fashion and advertising. Over the years, she has also had around forty exhibitions in Sweden and internationally, where she has shown artistic photographers and images of people she has met on trips around the world.
Diving sites in the Maldives
The variety of snorkeling and diving in the area is good. The dive center's location means that they can offer diving in both the North and South Ari Atoll. The diving is close to the island, but there is the option of going a little further for greater variety. It is probably the whale sharks and mantas that attract you! Along the outer reef on the southwestern edge of the atoll, whale sharks are seen practically every day. This is perhaps one of the Maldives' absolute best places to snorkel and dive to see whale sharks. Many liveaboards pass this place during their routes. Here you can both snorkel and dive with whale sharks, sometimes several at a time. There are 4 instructors here who speak several different languages.
South Ari also offers many grooming stations for manta rays. During the southwest monsoon (June to November) you may be lucky enough to see them circling in large groups with their mouths open to catch as much plankton as possible. The atoll also has incredibly beautiful inner reefs and colorful walls with a very rich fish life. Schools of snappers, butterflyfish, tuna, barracuda, fussiliers are common and the service from dive guides and staff is very good for diving and snorkeling. Right off the beach you may be lucky enough to see octopus, small reef sharks and turtles coming right up to the beach.
