				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><em>Hanifaru Bucht</em></h1>
<p>Die <strong>Hanifaru Bucht</strong> ist eine unter Schutz stehende, unbewohnte Insel im Baa Atoll in den Malediven. Sie ist nicht größer als ein Fußballfeld und doch ist es einer der beliebtesten Orte für Unterwasserfotografen überhaupt. Der Grund für diese erstaunliche Vielfalt unter Wasser ist die Planktonblühte zwischen Mai und November, ein sehr ungewöhnliches Phänomen – welches bis zu Hunderte von Mantarochen anlockt. In diesem Zeitraum können sich bis zu 200 Mantarochen, sowie einige Walhaie, zur gleichen Zeit dort aufhalten und von den Korallenriffen zehren. Die Hanifaru  Bucht ist mittlerweile zur weltweit größten Fütterungsdestination für Mantarochen geworden.</p>
<div><img class="size-full wp-image-4 " title="taucher mit mantarochen" src="http://www.malediven-tauchreisen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/taucher-mit-mantarochen.jpg" alt="Taucher mit Mantarochen" width="384" height="256" />
<p>Taucher mit Mantarochen</p>
</div>
<h2>Die Hanifaru Bucht genießt mittlerweile internationale Anerkennung</h2>
<p>Das lokale Phänomen hat die Hanifaru Bucht zu einer der größten Attraktionen für Schnorchler und Taucher von überall auf der Welt gemacht, niemand würde die Möglichkeit Hunderte von Mantarochen und Walhaien zusammen in ihrem natürlichen Habitat, nicht größer als ein Fußballfeld, entgehen lassen wollen. National Geographic hat kürzlich mehrere Film- und Fotodokumentationen über die Hanifaru Bucht fertig gestellt, welche, mit ihren beeindruckenden Aufnahmen, weltweites Interesse bei Fans des Marinelebens geweckt haben.</p>
<h2>Das Phänomen der Hanifaru Bucht entsteht aus einem Planktonwirbel</h2>
<p>Von Mai bis November übt die Mondflut Druck auf die süd-westlich gelegene Strömung des Indischen Ozeans aus, welches einen Saugeffekt kreiert, der das Plankton aus tiefen Gewässern in Richtung Wasseroberfläche der <strong>Hanifaru Bucht </strong>zieht. Während dieses Prozesses taucht das Plankton, welches nahe an die Wasseroberfläche kommt, ab, instinktiv wieder ab, fort vom Tageslicht, und wird so in der Strömung gefangen.  In nur wenigen Stunden bildet sich eine gigantische Konzentration an Plankton die das Wasser vernebelt, die großen Mantarochen und Walhaie nutzen diese extravagante Futtermöglichkeit. Und Tauch- und Schnorchelfans aus aller Welt nutzen die Möglichkeit dieses einzigartige Phänomen hautnah zu erleben.</p>
<h2>Die Hanifaru Bucht bietet den einzigartigen Mantarochen Fütterungswahnsinn</h2>
<p>Mantarochen sind bekannt dafür in einer Kette, Mantarochen an Mantarochen, durch die trüben Planktonwolken zu schwimmen. Dabei berührt der Schwanz des vorderen Rochens den Kopf des folgenden Tieres, schwimmen 50 oder mehr Rochen hintereinander geschieht etwas außergewöhnliches: der Rochen am Anfang der Kette zieht los und schließt zum letzten Tier in der Kette auf und erzeugt so einen riesigen Wirbel aus Mantarochen, dieser Vorgang wird als Zyklonfressen beschrieben. In der <strong>Hanifaru Bucht</strong> jedoch kommt es vor, daß sich mehr als 100 Tiere aneinanderreihen, worauf die Tiere die Kette auflösen und wild durcheinander schwimmen. In den folgenden Minuten schwimmen mehr als 100 Mantarochen planlos umher und stoßen immer wieder aus allen Richtungen aneinander, National Geographic bezeichnete dieses Geschehen als „feeding frenzy“ (deutsch: Fütterungswahnsinn).  Zu diesem Chaos kommen noch die, bis zu 12m großen, Walhaie hinzu. Es wundert also nicht daß das Plankton nach wenigen Stunden deutlich weniger wird und die „Party“ kurz darauf ein Ende hat</p>
<h2>Regierung will die Hanifaru Bucht schützen</h2>
<p>Die Regierung der Malediven glaubt, daß der Überfluß an Touristen, welche dieses Spektakel in der <strong>Hanifaru Bucht</strong> beobachten, das Futterverhalten der Mantarochen dauerhaft verändern kann. In Folge dessen wurden schon einige Richtlinien für Taucher und auch Schnorchler eingeführt. Das Ziel ist es, daß Touristen dieses Phänomen beobachten können, ohne daß die Rochen in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung gestört oder beeinflusst werden. Die Hanifaru Bucht hat mittlerweile einen hohen und immens wichtigen Status für die langfristige und nachhaltige Entwicklung des Baa Atoll’s, der Malediven und das weltweite Unterwasserökosystem.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Gangehi Kandu Dive Site</h1>
<p>With a drift of more than 2.5 km from the channel&#8217;s entrance to the end of the dive at the inside of the Atoll, <strong>Gangehi Kandu </strong>is known to be one of the longest channel dives in the Ari Atoll. When the current is incoming, the dive begins a bit further out and drifts into the channel. Once inside, you will see the caves and overhangs and a few outcrops away from the reef. The outcrops have interesting features and are covered with attractive hard and soft coral formations. The bottom of the entire channel is sandy making a perfect resting ground for the zebra shark, stingray and white tip reef shark, all of which are commonly found here.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Kandooma Thila Dive Site</h1>
<p>One of the most spectacular dive sites in the South Male Atoll, teardrop-shaped <strong>Kandooma Thila</strong> is known for its impressive underwater scenery and prolific fish life. A quick descend is necessary at <strong>Kandooma Thila</strong> because of the strong currents. The dive begins among up-currents and dive guides usually set the jumping point a few metres away from the reef. As soon as divers reach shallow water they should deploy the surface balloon and it should be visible at all times until the dive boat locates the divers.</p>

<p><strong>Okobe Thil</strong>a is found in the North Male Atoll, and is considered to be one of the most uniquely shaped thilas in the area. Comprised of three large coral heads, the abounding marine life includes <a title="Eagle Rays" href="http://www.maldivesdivetravel.com/maldives_marine_life/eagle-ray.html" target="_blank">Eagle Rays</a>, Jacks, Tuna, <a title="Napoleon Wrasse" href="http://www.maldivesdivetravel.com/maldives_marine_life/napoleon-wrasse.html" target="_blank">Napoleon Wrasse </a>and Bannerfish. Given the strength of the current, divers may zigzag from one coral head to the other while observing the fish life. As always, planning for a safety spot and surface balloons are a must.</p>

<p>Many scuba divers consider <strong>Fotteyo Kandu</strong> as the best dive site in Maldives. It is also included in the top 5 dive sites in the world. During the northeast monsoon season when the currents are incoming, a good variety of fish species gather at the channel&#8217;s entrance. These species include the grey reef shark (which patrols the channel mouth), Jacks and Tuna. In the deeper water divers will see schools of midnight and red snappers form huge groups. The wall consists of caves and overhangs which are filled with colourful corals. The best place to make your safety stop is in the middle of the channel entrance. Like many dive sites in the Maldives, a surface balloon is a must at <strong>Fotteyo Kandu</strong>.</p>

<p>At <strong>Fotteyo Kandu</strong>, there is a Thila inside the channel with 2 narrow sandy channels on either side. These channels are occupied by the titan triggerfish and are used as a mating ground. Beware of this fish and don&#8217;t get close to them if they start to behave strangely, they can be quite aggressive.</p>
<p><strong>Fotteyo Kandu</strong> is also known for its early morning hammerhead shark dive. This dive is performed very differently from the day dives at <strong>Fotteyo Kandu</strong>. Early in the morning, scallop hammerheads rise from deep waters to the shallower depths and divers will be able to get a glimpse of them.</p>
