Comments	Boutique Beach is an all inclusive dive operation on the small island of Dhigurah. The hotel is small (6 rooms) but they are very comfortable and spacious. There is an amazing, partially outdoor shower (so cool to see the stars at night). The food is good and plentiful. Since this is the Maldives, there is no alcohol available on this particular island. On the day we were to leave (very late flight out), the hotel was gracious enough to let us keep our room until we left. They also arranged a picnic/barbecue on a local beach. Amazing! Diving was done with their own operator. The DM would come to the hotel after dinner and talk with us about what we wanted to see and do the next day. We had numerous opportunities to snorkel with whale sharks, but the icing on the cake was being able to see them while diving. It was truly a bucket list experience. There were sites where the current was significant. These were the places with the healthiest corals. The numbers of marine species were plentiful. There were sites on the beaches and parts of the marina that were littered with trash which was very sad.
