If you are a scuba enthusiast, there is no better place to discover the hidden treasures beneath the sea than the Maldives Islands. Explore the more than 1000 tiny islands that can be found scattered over nearly 60,000 miles of the Indian Ocean.

A live-aboard scuba vacation is a unique adventure that everyone who enjoys the sport should try. Instead of staying at a conventional hotel where you are afforded limited dive opportunities, why not try staying on board a ship where you will have the opportunity to make several dives a day. Surrounded by fellow enthusiasts you can eat, sleep, drink and dream of scuba diving for your entire vacation.

Most live-aboard scuba vacations typically last 7 days. You will spend your days and nights aboard a luxury yacht and be quickly transported to dive sites that are inaccessible to most land based vacation accommodations and dive tour operators.

Your ship will have many of the same amenities that are conventional hotel has such as running water, showers, private bathrooms and a gathering place where you can eat, drink and be merry with your fellow passengers.

Three meals a day are offered as well as snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages are usually sold for an extra fee. You will enjoy the camaraderie that lends itself to this experience whether you plan to scuba dive or prefer a tamer snorkeling experience, sunning on the decks, fishing for the “big one,” or swimming in the clear waters.

Imagine setting anchor at one of the uninhabited islands where you can explore a tropical paradise that is uniquely your own. Find a hidden cove to have a picnic lunch and bask in the warm sun or search for treasures along the shore.

Families are welcome on many live-aboard scuba diving vacations. Your children will feel as if they are part of The Swiss Family Robinson and will carry the memory of this one of a kind vacation destination for the rest of their lives as will you when you take the plunge and book your live-aboard scuba diving vacation to the Maldives, the islands of majesty.
