Angsana
Ihuru is giving away a 3 nights stay for 2 persons including transfers
and a diving experience as part of the celebration of the Rannamaari Wrecks 20th
Anniversary.
The
Rannamaari Wreck was previously used as a dredging ship in Male and was towed
to Angsana Ihuru in 1999 to be used as an artificial reef. However, the ship
sank "mysteriously" two days before the planned event. The dredger was docked
in front of the bar and while all the guests were at dinner, no one noticed
that "Rannamaari" was slowly sinking until the final moment when air bubbles
and foam gushed out noisily from the submerging dredger. "Rannamaari" had not
waited for the arranged date for its sinking. It sank on its own to the final
resting place and has since become a home for thousands of sea creatures and
corals at a depth of 26 metres.
"Rannamaari"
is a legend and an important part of the Maldivian folklore. Rannamaari is the
name of an alleged sea monster that takes away a virgin girl every full moon.
Similarly,
the dredger was also once a monstrously strong machine used to take away sand
for island reclamation.
Angsana
Ihuru prepared numerous diving and marine conservation activities for the
upcoming 5-day celebration on the 10th of June including 10To10 24
hour live streaming of the wreck, sunrise, sunset and late night dives. In
addition to this, they are giving away a 3 nights stay for two persons which
includes transfers and one diving experience.
The
competition details can be found on the resorts Instagram account (@angsanaihurumaldives)
and will end on the 15th of June 2019.
