Hello all,
I plan to take a group of 14-20 divers to The Maldives in Sept 26-October 4 2015 and am searching for inspiration re the best value 'luxury' liveaboard. I would dive happily out of an old fishing boat, but my good lady wife has high standards in mind and is after a reasonably affordable but very nice ship and newer is better than older. Something around the standard of The Duke of York; or The Carpe Vita ; The MV Leo; MV Virgo would suit (those boats being unavailable for the dates I am after.) The Carpe Diem or Conte Max is available but looks maybe a little homely for her tastes (though I have no doubt it is a great dive operation. Someting around the $250 USD per day woul dsuit. I would value any recommendations.
