Nearly no agriculture and all the food is coming from India, Sri Lanka...even drink water. So, prices are quite expensive. You may take diving lessons and get a international PADI certification easily. Underwater is just fantastic...would be good if you go with an underwater camera. If you go with a partner non-scuba diver, I would advise you to do 1 week in Maldives & 1 week Sri Lanka. ( Unless you don't make your partner also become a scuba diver. :). There are some cheap flights Male/Colombo. Well...a little tip for Sri Lanka, unique peacefull beach there is at Galle( South of Colombo and no problem there.) and 5klm after to Unawatuna beach. ( Hikkaduwa is not bad too. ) Hope it helps. Take care & happy divings. ibuah ibrahim Post Count: 3 Msg: #2 386 days ago, November 3rd 2008 | A popular diving destination for years, Maldives has started attracting surfers from all around the world.
