Maldives in July?

[bwilcove]

I am considering going on a liveaboard in July in the Maldives. Has anyone had any experience with the weather that time of year? Yes, I know it's monsoon season, but what's the chance of getting caught in a big storm? If there's no storm, how much rainfall is there and how's the diving?

Also, any other recommendations as to locales that time of year if not the Maldives?

Yes... it will be rainy but not every day, you cannot really predict the storms, generally the sea will be rough. Anyway diving is always great no matter which day. if you are on a liveaboard you always have chance to see best dive sites. If you don't like the rough seas always there is the 2nd option,of choosing a resort. every single resort they have dive center. if you could tell me the dates, i could try to give you the best options.

cheers

"awesome" has given you quite good rates. it will be fun to experience liveaboard trip atleast for 7days, which you would do some of the best dives around. so try to go for it. cheers

The weather can be wet, but usually isn't, and the diving is generally great.
