Dhinasha.
19 January – 31 January. The clearest water of the year — the season for over-water and drone frames.
Winds ease; the lagoon is at its clearest. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Dhinasha for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: the clearest water of the year — the season for over-water and drone frames. Iruvai is the peak season, so book the date early — I hold a quote for five days.

The clearest water of the year — the season for over-water and drone frames. I shoot through every nakaiy; the plan changes with the sky, not the calendar.
