Below is the map of Carina's journey (our mother ship):
After you click on the image, you will get the larger version of the map with all diving places marked.
Most of these should be pretty much in their correct positions,
but I couldn't get the positions of several places (Miyaru Thila and Nu Thila)
or the spot was marked in two different places on two different maps (Giravaru Faru)...
To get to the diving places, we used a small shuttle boat - a
dhoni.
On this boat we also kept all our gear, tanks, etc.
After these dives, we spent two days on the Bandos island, to get some rest,
and a tan, do some easy snorkeling, have some drinks, generally chill out,
and to get the nitrogen out of our blood before the flight home.
