Very nice video 👍 What kind of camera did you use? Thank you very much for answering 🤗
I really appreciate your kind words! I used a gopro 11 with max view lens to film the tour. Happy to help!
oooo it’s a holiday channel
Love it mate.. takes me back to 2007 when my wife and I honeymooned there.. I became a member of one of the worlds most exclusive golf clubs when I played on there.. still have my Kuredu Golf Club cap 👌 it’s certainly had lots of additions since we went, but still looks as beautiful as ever.
Enjoy it. Only been once but stayed there 20 years ago. Had a week on a small liveaboard 12 divers then a week on the island. On the island used to do 2 tank boat dives in the morning then do night dive off the beach in the evening. Great place though saw a lot more on the liveaboard. Have fun.
That’s unbelievable I was there 20 years ago too it’s changed a lot since then 🫶🤙
I was fortunate to stay there about 20 years ago in a water bungalow. It was an unforgettable holiday. The diving was incredible, I can highly recommend the Kureudo Express. The seaplane flight to get the island is an amazing sight. The island looks to have been developed significantly since our stay when there was no gym or pools and no 'airport' that I can remember.
Enjoy the rest of your stay.
Yes it’s changed quite a bit since I was last there 20 years ago and like you i stayed in a water bungalow hopefully it won’t take me another 20 years to return 🫶🤙
Nice to see these islands have still not sunk into the sea, even after all these years of sea levels rising?? LOL
Yeah strange that 🤙
Wow! Love this as it brought me back to my honeymoon in 2011 ❤ Kuredu is gorgeous and the diving/snorkelling is incredible 🐠 We too stayed in a beach bungalow. Hopefully get to return one day 🤞🏻
It’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience but like you say it’s inspirational to for me to just work harder and make going back a reality 🍻🫶🤙
Bello
Bello! Is that the Maldivian way of saying “I’m ready for a vacation”? 🌴
Hi Mel and Becky
Thanks for your island tour video we are currently in Thailand for the winter and I get your dream off walking out from bungalow straight into the sea , I have done it many times most island here you can do 😎☀👍
cheers Gary and Mon 50/50
Oh how wonderful to spend winter in Thailand this one place I’ve never been too sounds amazing enjoy your time there we’re now back in the uk and I have to say it’s horrible rite now 🫶🤙
@@BigVanSmallWorld Hi Mel Its always been on my life plan to live in the warm in the winter , I HATE THE COLD ! now I am following my dream in Thailand with Mon
I can recommend the whole of south east Asia warm water for diving 100% all year round
cheers Gary and Mon 50/50😎
Thank you, mel, like this video and you made me wish I was here. Alan
Q: How does Dracula Play Cricket? A: with a vampire bat! 😅
Hahaha that’s a proper dad joke 🤣😂🫶🤙
Hi great video was that just a standard beach bungalow or was it beach villa? Just as the telly threw me as I’ve booked beach bungalow but thought it didn’t have tv in it.
we was staying in beach bungalow you will love it
You would make a GREAT TOUR GUIDE🤪👍well deserved and great content 👍💪🍺
Thanks 👍
I hope you've both had a fab holiday as you both deserve it x
Thank you 🙏
Curious question, did you pre book two different types of accom or did you asked to be moved from the garden one?
Bet the divings incredible 👍🏼
I was so disappointed with the garden bungalow that I paid for the upgrade to the beach bungalow. Diving was ok 👍
That was a nice for a little change Mel, I enjoyed the tour. The Maldives was always on my list but for me I'll stick to South East Asia for diving etc - have you been to Koh Tao, Thailand, or Perhentian in Malaysia? - as it offers far better value for me - £6k could get you a couple of months.
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! The Maldives is definitely a dream destination, but Southeast Asia has some amazing diving spots too. Koh Tao and the Perhentians are now on my list. thank you
@@BigVanSmallWorld I've heard that Perhentian is one of the cheapest places to dive, or maybe it was learn. Koh Tao just has so many dive spots. I've only just requalified via PADI rather than BSAC many years ago, never did many dives but hope to do more. Videos on my channel if you're really bored one day 😂
Lucky you. I never did dive the Maldives 👍
It’s beautiful
Mel
I think what you do is brilliant. Keep going, don't stop you are interesting, informative and an asset to UA-cam.
Looking forward to you moving into the new van.
One question is there anything in the old van you will take to the new van, e.g. security cameras etc.
Keep going fella.
Thanks, mate! I really appreciate it! Definitely taking some stuff from the old van-can’t leave all my secret treasures behind! 🚐✨
Six grand is alot for a holiday, is all the food and drinks included i hope
Yes definitely a one off thing won’t be going back anytime soon but yeah all inclusive and the food was amazing 🫶🤙
Hi Mel, Well jealous as miss the Maldives been to Kudrimath twice but reef is ruined due to tourists. Look great there, do they have an ice cream parlour and is it all inclusive ?
Do you have to book other restaurants
Yeah same here the house reef is pretty much dead and lifeless due to all the divers kicking. They do sell ice cream but that’s not included you have to pay extra for that 😂🫶
Great Vid As Always Mel
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video!
My German dive buddy who is sadly no longer with us… we always said we wanted to dive around Truk.
Oh I’m sorry to hear my deepest condolence’s 🫶🤙
Looks great Mel ❤👍
Thank you 🤙
Kuredu island is spectacular but 8 guest have passed there in the last 15 years so I'll not risk it 😮
Where is the sun ☀️ 🤷🏼♂️ enjoy the break 😊
Thank you 🙏
Wandering where 😂😂
Aye right! 😂
Hi mel great island,does the islanders compain about global warming 😂 i thought with all the moaning from no10 the island would be like atlantis 😂😂😂
I didn’t hear anyone complaining about anything 🤙
Very nice guys👍
Thank you 😀
Fastest thing underwater ? Motorbike and side carp!
That’s funny
@@BigVanSmallWorld That should be motorpike ! Damn spellchecker!
Looks such a beautiful place for you both to escape 😊 totally agree the beach ones is a lot better. It’s nice to see it as il never be able to go there. Thanks for taking the time on your holiday to do a tour and show us. Hope you both enjoy the rest of the time there and have plenty of rest and relaxation. Must of been amazing diving in that ocean with all the water life 😊
You’re welcome my friend 🤙
@ you deserve the best 🙏
Scared of a fruit bat, seriously 😂 hope you had a great holiday
Haha I was being drama queen 😂🤣😂🫶
Very nice Mel, you've earned the break away.
The sad bit about the Maldives is the rubbish that is dumped on Thilafushi island, not the greenest thing to do in such a beautiful area.
Enjoy the rest of your stay 👍🏻
So sad
@BigVanSmallWorld it is mate, it shocked me!
Thilafushi island Maldives. They offering FREE accommodation for 2025. ;-) enjoy.
Haha
Now you know why your island is spotless :-)
You can sell your van... Buy a boat.. And make it into a live aboard... Would make some great youtube videos 😂😂
Great idea I don’t think anyone has ever done that before 😂🤣😂🤙
do you mean "Palm Fronds"!
Oh yeah
Must be great to live in a van and not work. And go on expensive holidays. Oh how I’m going to get slatted for my opinion.
You are in a beach villa not a bungalow
Well I had a great holiday and I’m back in a van in the freezing cold 🥶 Happy?
Mel, you are the most genuine bloke on you tube. You deserve that break along with Becky.
Now stop being a twat and get back on the spanners, we need to get that Vario up and running. G
Haha thank you soon as I’m over the jet lag I’ll get back to working on the vario all going well should have a fresh video for you next week 🫶🤙
Butlin's that ain't!
Youre not wrong
Whatever happened to your van building,..Sorry Mel your unsubscribed..😔
He's on holiday.
It's the middle of winter. Would you want to be want working outside, the guys on holiday I don't think he needs your permission.
@@adeh503 ,...I never asked for their permission,..And yes i have worked outside on 4 van builds in the winter, a lesson in life,.. don't ever assume you know someone you have never met or know nothing about,....
You are a prat everybody deserves a holiday I hope he enjoyed himself
Mel are you sure you don’t work for the Maldives Tourist board! Grt video your looking ur usual cheery self & sure you needed the brk,a trip of a life time ,but just looked up the £’s for going there wow expensive ( wishing it was me 🥹)Pity the Vario is nt ready yet you could have driven somewhere closer which would have saved you some bucks. Anyhow enjoy. 👋🏴
I’ll be back to work soon
