Over Reef Liveaboard, Maldives

I sure hope you have a better experience on this ship and look forward to eating a trip report...! Sorry I wasn't able to offer any specific information about that ship or the dive operation.

I know it will be better than Palau, that trip taught me to ask some questions before booking, ie how long since the boat has been in dry dock. It was due in the week after us ... and long overdue!

Thank you for your opinions, hearing other’s thoughts is always helpful!

I'll be on Carpe Vita and Emperor Leo from March 7 to 28, flying to Male on Friday, March 5. Plan to get the PCR test on Tuesday, March 2 (within 96 hour prior to departure, per Maldives COVID-19 protocol). I have DiveAssure travel insurance with COVID-19 rider. I also have contingency plan for staying there 2 more weeks or longer just in case I get the dang virus requiring hospitalization or am forced to stay in quarantine there (the latter is more likely if I were tested positive, since I already have the Moderna vaccine).

Bon voyage!

I have read the recount, as well as the tumultuous Scubaboard thread about it. I am going to assume the government has improved their Q facilities since this happened. Insurance is a must for us. I'll look forward to your recount if you end up in quarantine. Enjoy your trip!
