Your trip to Maldives will be the ultimate one in terms o service, comfort and marine life that you will see there. Because Maldives is nearly 300 sq. km. in area, it is not possible to explore all of it while residing in a resort. So, the live board is a more feasible option with which you can cruise around the entire archipelago on the live aboard and jump into the Dhoni that travels alongside.
This is a great option because smaller boats go to the shallower waters which allow you to get closer to actual dive sites. All the gear is kept ready in the Dhoni and all you have to do is to get ready with your equipments and jump into the waters.
There is a huge variety of live aboards in Maldives, out of which, all offer different levels of amenities and comfort as per their price.
