Firstly, allow me to introduce myself and Maldives Travel Online to ScubaBoard. We are a local based operator residing in the Maldives specializing in Liveaboard and Resort based holidays.

After living, working and diving in this paradise over the past 2 years, we have decided to establish our own tourism business and will soon launch our web-site mid November (www.maldivestravelonline.com).

We are presently developing travel packages specializing in the following areas:

· Diving

· Surfing

· Honeymoon & Romance

· Family Fun

· Singles Fun

· Business Conferences

· Sport Fishing

We are introducing a ‘Special Introductory Diving package’ for 20 divers on our luxury diving and liveaboard cruiser – ‘Carina’ mid January for 10days.

If the package is of interest, please contact me and I will be happy to provide additional information. Alternatively, if you have a special travel request or would like information regarding a resort, dive location, diving safari operator, the weather or what ever - please drop me a line and I will try to assist.

Either way, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss any future travel / diving requirements you may have in the magnificent Maldives.

Kind regards,

John
