From madlobster: The bigest obstacle other than time and distance is my wife doesn’t dive so i don’t thnk there is much else for her to do. Am I wrong?

Well i must agree with you that from the US, the distance to the Maldives is enormous, and takes endless hours of flying. However, there are loads of things to do besides diving! Granted I would try to upsell packages through maldivesdivetravel.com, but they wouldn’t have what you’re looking for... I think for your wife’s consideration, the best thing you could do is book a stay at a resort. Most of them offer pretty good diving packages (not nearly as good as the ones we have) and have spas, pools, endless white sandy beaches, all-inclusive bars, a list of watersports, and island excursions to Male(the capital) or other surrounding secluded islands. And, the new resorts have such awesome rooms theres no reason to even leave...

Hope it helps getting you there sooner!
