I have open spots on a Jan 8-18, 2010 trip to the Maldives on the newest and biggest liveaboard in the country. On Jan 15, 2010 there will be a spectacular Annular Solar Eclipse occurring. This will be the longest eclipse of the century. The new boat boasts a Thai chef serving up asian, local, and international meals, a well stocked wine celler, a Thai masseuse, spa, and large modern staterooms. A 45 ft diving Dhoni will accompany the mother ship. Nitrox is included. I've been to the Maldives 16 times since 1986 and it is still one of my favorite destinations.
