Going to maldives and have a few questions

Party_Animal

Yes, loved the no shoes bit. We were advised to tip on day one and we did. Every night when we went bed our bed was turned back and decorated with petals. Always something different. A very relaxing holiday and some great diving and snorkelling

hi again,
Getting very excited now, just over a month until we go!!
Ordering money this week which is exciting!!

Just some more info if anyone is interested about digital waterproof cameras.
We ordered a hero 3 digital camera

and we have been testing it during surfing and it is really good.
£100 but worth it, we are buying a second for the holiday.
If anyone is interested, i can post up some video and photos from the camera.

the camera was from magicseaweed.com (direct link)
and is really cool.
Glad you like the thread We are counting the days.. 38 days to go!!

is a week long enough?! A lot of people say they wish they had gone for two weeks, due to the distance travelled to get there.
Have a nice time

So the magicseaweed website advertises this a suitable to surfing, how about snorkelling, when it will be submerged under the water for most of the time? We are hoping to get back to the Maldives in the spring.

If you plan to surf at Dhonveli, you need to check out the current details, when we went you needed to buy surf passes and there was a limited number available.

I only put a lin kto the magicseaweed site, as it is trustworthy and VERY good customer service.
On there it is advertised as for surfing, but yes, you can use it underwater .. I'm not sure of the depth it will go to though. When surfing, it it is submerged for alot of the time whilst paddling and sitting out back waiting for the magic wave

We don't plan to surf in the Maldives, I dont fancy the reef breaks.
Also, we're not going to Dhonveli any more, we are going to Herathera, as there is building works going on in Dhonveli.

Oh you've made me think now! I was assuming that double the nights would mean double the price, but infact its only £180 extra each to stay two weeks.

Decisions, decisions....

Sorry, making you think about spending extra money,
If i'm honest I wouldnt want to stay for one week, its such a long flight and such a lovely place (so everyone says!) that you would just start to settle and it would be time to go home.
If you can afford it, and can get the time off work, go for it dont push your budget though, because that way you won't enjoy it at all.

Still not decided about the two weeks, but think we are going to go for it!

Did you get any jabs in the end? If you did, what did you have to have?
