Maldives Recommendations

We're staying on Vakarufalhi in 3 weeks (after recommendation on this
board), will let you know what is was like, good house reef was one of the
reasons we chose the island, have a look at www.prodivers.com to see more
info on the diving.

Can also recommend Sunbreak Holidays http://www.sunbreakholidays.co.uk/ who
we booked with, Chloe helped us a lot in booking the whole package (flights,
Dubai stopover, liveaboard + Vakarufalhi stay).

Best of luck choosing!

I just came back from two week holiday in the maldives with my girlfriend,
the resort was the royal island, baa atoll. what can i say, ten out of ten,
from the food, staff, wooden cabin with outside shower ( how much i miss
it!), the weather, the seaplane, the snorkelling, seeing baby sharks in the
jetty everyday, the magical sunsets to the diving centre. i could not thank
enough Jorg, Zaameer, Junko, and the russian ( i always forget his name,
sorry!) instructors, together with Mohamed, the aspiring divemaster, for all
the magical moments that gave us, diving with mantas, sting rays, turtles,
lion fish, scorpion fish, and thousands of fish we encountered every single
dive.

if you or anybody happens to go there i suggest not to miss nelivaru thila
where we were fortunate to see eleven mantas flying around us and of course
to say a warm welcome to all of them specially to our "master jedi" Zameer
from maria and miguel, we'll carry them and the little island in our hearts
for the rest of our lives.

the only drawback is that you get so used to see so many different type of
fish and mantas that it has spoiled our future diving holidays, what can
compare with it? ;o)
