Looking into possibilities for next year's dive trip has led my eye to the Maldives. For those who have been there, some questions ...
- Time frame is early February ... we're looking for a 7 to 10 day stay. Is this a good time to choose a trip to the Maldives?
- Liveaboard seems to be the recommended way to go. But in looking at several 7-day packages I notice that they seem to be a bit light on the diving. 17 dives in seven days? C'mon ... for the price of a liveaboard I want more than two or three dives a day. Are there some options for more diving on liveaboards that I'm just not seeing?
- If we opt for a land-based trip, where would be the best place to base it? Male and Ari atolls seem to be the most popular. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to stay that would offer diving that's both good and plentiful?
Any additional information would be most appreciated.
