Hello, I'm looking for guidance on planning a diving trip to Maldives during March or April of next year.
My wife and I just picked up diving last year; each of us have logged less than 25 dives, but we're both PADI advanced certified (or will be after current trip's dives get logged...). However, neither of us feel terribly confident yet to handle everything the ocean can throw at us. We just did our first drift dive in Cozumel under what I considered fairly strong currents, and that was somewhat "adventurous" but OK.
I love diving, but not enough to dive multiple times per day for 7+ continuous days (i.e., standard liveaboard). I was wondering if there was such a thing as a 5 day liveaboard trip in the Maldives. If so, would that be a good idea or would finding a land-based diving resort be the way to go? I Googled "5 day liveaboard Maldives" and found nothing, so I'm thinking there may not be such a thing.
Note that I'm heading to India immediately afterwards, and someone told me about diving Lakshadweep Islands nearer to India. I Googled that and found a resort on this island. Does anyone know anything about diving here, as this may be a suitable replacement for Maldives for us.
thx in advance for any advice given.
