Comments	Having dived 25 differant boats I have to say this boat is the best. Wonderful huge cabins and wonderful food. The resort is also great. I wish I could say that the Maldives lives up to its reputation. There are over 100 dive boats there nand some sites had 100 or more divers in the water at one time. Whale sharks caused a frenzey of dives including divers riding on the fish's back. Divers from other boats were rude and even pushed us away grabing our tanks to pull us away so they could see. The coral is very bleached in the Maldives. Contact with natives is discouraged as the country is 100% Islam and there is little to see onshore. In addition it is hell to get there from the USA. All said I would recomend a place like Fiji or PNG over the Maldives.
