Arriving to Velana International Airport in Male, was quite special. The airport is quite small, but has a special feel to it due to its "open concept". Prior to our arrival, we had arranged a speed boat to pick us up and take us to the Maafushi Island. It's not every day that you get picked up from the airport by a speedboat, that's for sure. After a 30-45min boat ride, we arrived at Maafushi, where we received luggage assistance to our hotel. Not that it was a long walk, Maafushi is a small island just like most islands in the Maldives. Maafushi is known for being one of the more touristic islands, due to its close location to the airport and affordable prices. The island has restaurants, one bikini beach and a couple of party boats. We spent 5 nights at Maafushi in order to complete my Advance Open Water Diver certificate. As most of the islands in the Maldives are small, it's quite common to explore several islands, unless you are ona honeymoon and stuck on a resort island of course. Therefore, we decided to continue our journey to another local island nearby.
