My partner and I are considering booking a week on a Maldives liveaboard and the current favourite is the Aggressor II because there's a nice discounted fare on the date we want to go (December). We're experienced divers with 120+ dives each and good air consumption.
On drive trips I'm always a bit concerned about dive times being limited by the less experienced and/or those who drink through their air. divebooker.com says the Aggressor II has an AOW + 30 dive experience requirement, but liveaboard.com says the requirement is OW + 4 dives, which is really nothing at all.
On top of that we the date we are looking at is exclusive to PADI Travel and I wonder if that attracts newbies who know the PADI name through their training and might be tempted to book with them rather than other boats.
Can anyone offer me any comments either for or against?
