Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Would like to do this again. I had a great time on this trip and would recommend it for anyone looking to dive the Maldives. While the weather wasn’t on our side for most of the days, it didn’t seem to effect the diving much- just the sunbathing.”
Recommended for: Comfortable. Nice sun deck. Dive briefings.
