Maldives trip report

I've finally got around to finishing my trip report for my holiday to
Ranveli Island in the South Ari Atoll of the Maldives. It was also the
first time I use my new Olympus 5060 underwater setup.

Words and pictures are on my website.

It's been said before, but your Reports are really excellent.

When thinking about booking a holiday, I am always wondering:

How will the Flight Be?
How will the Digs be?
How will the DIVING be?
How will the Dive Facilities/Staff be?
How will the Grub be?
How much will I pay in hidden "Extras"
How does the place look above/below water.

Your reports always cover these points, and I really enjoy reading them. I
hope you get enough hits to make a bit back on the Google Ads, which are a
very "Unobtrusive" way to advertise. Even if it just enough to pay the
hosting, I hope you at least break even. Your information is a great
contribution to scuba on the interweb.

Thanks very much for sharing your trip reports!

Yes, the Google Ads more than pay for my hosting and as you say, I don't
think they're too obtrusive. Plus as they're context based, they often
reasonably relevant. Mind you, according to some daft cow on another
group, their mere presence on my website makes any post containing my
signature a commercial post.

On the subject of the Maldives, I got an email today from the new manager
of the dive school on Summer Island Village. I went there back in 1999.
The island was a nice, medium priced resort. The dive school is probably
the worst I have ever dived with. So I'm pleased to report it's under
completely new management, so things should now be a lot better.
