Maldives
Under the large overhangs of the reef you can swim beneath them and spot sleeping stingrays or nurse sharks. There are colorful nudibranchs and flatworms and, in some seasons, schools of sweeper fish cover the reef and attract tuna and trevally. In the caves you may find sting rays and moray eels, and sometimes nurse sharks and turtles, while on the edge of the reef there are schools of banner fish. The name recalls Ali Baba from the tale, and the reef is presented as full of treasures, like the character.
