I made 5 shore dives around the Ellaidhoo House Reef (mostly from 301, opposite the dive centre, to 207 & back): 274, 277, 280 (with Irina), 286 & 287 (night dive). And took dive boat trips on 4 days: 275, 276, 278, 279, 281 & 282. We also saw many fish when snorkelling around the Ellaidhoo House Reef, usually from our room at the west tip of the island, inside the lagoon & along the reef edge near 308.
