I am going to Maldives on a liveaboard in Feb. but I cant decide what area I should do. They all look good but would like to hear from others who have been. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info Vicky. I am leaning towards the Deep south tour. I really really like the idea of no other or few other divers. I do have one question. Do I need to bring an electric converter (coming from the US or do they have that covered on most of the boats??Hi Greg
I got bitten my the Maldivian bug on my 1st visit back in 1999 and year on year we return; this year we had a break but that wasn't before I booked my 2018 visit - I absolutely love the Maldives.
If this would be your 1st visit then I think you should just find a liveaboard you like and then do a little research on the boat/company and go for it.
We've done central atolls, north, far south and I've never had a bad trip; we've dived sites that we've dived before and still we keep returning.
The Maldives have been hit by El Niño and as a result some of the corals aren't that great but that isn't everywhere but if you want some of the 'big boys' then the Maldives won't disappoint.
The Far South has only really opened up in the last 5yrs and some of the table corals are AMAZING and there's even less divers; we did a 12 day trip in the Far South and we only saw 1 other liveaboard the whole trip and we were on different dive sites.....pure bliss!

The boat is small, max 12 guests, no jacuzzis but bloody good diving with two cruise directors that really do know their stuff and are so very passionate about both the Maldives and the diving and ensuring that the guests have some truly memorable dives.
If you want to know anything else then ask away
