I haven't been in Red Sea but Maldives is a paradise for scuba divers, honey moon couples.

Many small islands, where you may walk all around the islands in max. 30 minutes. 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.

A popular diving destination for years, Maldives has started attracting surfers from all around the world. Surfing in the clear, warm waters of the Maldives i a veritable source of enjoyment for novices and professional surfers alike.The weather from May to October is ideal for surfers.Go on a surfing safari to surf around all the best sites. With a safari, you can visit all the surfing sites around the Maldives. Feel the wind caress your cheeks and adrenaline rush through your blood stream.

the word "cheap" and Maldives does not go together, I do agree Maldives is a paradise for Scuba but very expensive.
