Ben, Tambi, and Molly are a family of 3 that sail the Bahamas aboard their Endeavour 32 sailboat. It hasn't always been that way though... far from it. Before they became sailors, they were living the traditional American life. 9-5 jobs, 2 nice cars, a hefty mortgage - and 1 out of every 52 weeks... there was a vacation. Things changed though, when Ben had the realization that every day felt exactly like the previous one. It was just like that movie "Groundhog Day"... Wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to sleep, repeat, repeat, repeat. Time to shake things up! The Clardy family always did enjoy their temporary getaways to the islands when they would go on cruises. They loved the tropical climate, the clear water, the white sand, the palm trees. They wanted more of THAT, but how? A sailboat, THAT’S how! It was that idea that spurred this family to break out of their rut and go on a grand adventure to tropical destinations over the horizon. Do they know anything about sailing? ...nope. Did they inherit a boat load of money? ...definitely not. Minor details, BECAUSE... So far they’ve sold everything, moved out of their house, purchased a 38 year old sailboat, toured 1000 miles of Intracoastal Waterway, and experienced an unforgettable 6 month sailing adventure through the islands of the Bahamas. So, what’s next for this intrepid trio? Whatever happens - the cameras will be rolling and their salty adventures will be recorded so that you can share the experience as their Story unfolds. Tune in and enjoy the adventure. :) Thanks for watching!!

Het doel van deze liveaboard is zeer specifiek de combinatie van manta's (mobula en oceanic) in Addu en vooral Tijgerhaaien in Fuvamulah! Niet zelden worden er meer dan 10 Tijgerhaaien op 1 duik gespot! Uniek in de wereld!!! We blijven 2 dagen in Fuvamulah en maken 4 duiken op TigerZoo (2 per dag), dé plek bij uitstek waar de Tijgerhaaien worden gespot. We doen dat onder deskundige leiding van duikgidsen van het eiland zelf die een uitgebreide kennis en ervaring hebben met de plaats en het gedrag van de haaien. Als derde duik van de dag maken we nog een duik op het Zuidplateau, waar afhankelijk van de stromingen alles mogelijk is (van Hamerhaaien, Walvishaaien en Voshaaien tot Tijgerhaaien), en het Noordplateau met prachtig en intacte koralen. De trip start en eindigt in Addu, het Zuidelijkste punt van de Malediven, vlak bij de evenaar. Het Addu Manta Point is hier het absolute hoogtepunt. Het cleaning station is gelegen op zo'n 20m diepte en de sterke stroming creëert de perfecte omgeving tot prachtige manta-duiken. Het prachtige outer reef van Addu geeft uit op de open oceaan en vaak worden hier Oceanic mantas waargenomen. Tenslotte is het wrak "British Loyalty" een fascinerende duik. De olietanker werd in 1944 getorpedeerd door een Duitse onderzeeër en ligt binnen het atol. Zichtbaarheid is daardoor doorgaans minder goed, maar het wrak is wel prachtig begroeid met softkoralen, en is een thuis voor heel wat klein leven als naaktslakken, en ghost pipefish. Er leeft ook een gezonde hoeveelheid rifvissen, trevally's en schildpadden. www.wildwater.be
