Dhiggiri Kandu is close to the Dhiggiri Island, a nice resort which was owned, at the time, by Italian Club Vacanze. I was working with them as diving instructor. They did also run Alimatha, also in the Felidhu atoll, quite close to Dhiggiri.googling Diggiri Kandu now.... Cool. I hear the water is getting deeper in the Maldives.
This. There's two diverging dialects. Most American english speakers would say dove, and European english speakers say dived.Hmmm, interesting. I've never heard a UK English speaker use dove as the past tense of dive, but this appears to be common for North American English speakers. Would be interesting to find out what term other English speaking nations use. For that matter, which way do people who use English as a second language roll?
