			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h1><span style="color: #003366">If you are planning to visit the Maldives for the first time and looking for some general advice, then this one is for you.</span></h1>
<div id="attachment_269" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 437px">
	<a href="http://www.carpediemets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Enchanting-Maldives.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-269" src="http://www.carpediemets.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Enchanting-Maldives.jpg" alt="Enchanting Maldives" width="437" height="242" /></a>

<p>Excited for your first time in Maldives. It&#8217;s a once in a lifetime experience you will never forget, white sand beaches, blue lagoons and swaying palms will greet you once you step foot into this island country in the middle of the ocean. Words will fail to describe the beauty of the Maldives, it&#8217;s arguably the<a href="http://www.carpediemets.com" target="_blank"> most beautiful place on earth</a>.</p>
<h2>For the first time visitor, here are a few tips and tidbits you need to know.</h2>
<p>All resorts in the <a href="http://www.askmaldives.com" target="_blank">Maldives </a>occupy a whole island, it ranges from 2.5 kms across to 150 meters across, this means that the facilities on the resort you choose will be the only ones you will have access during your stay.</p>
<p>Almost all international flights land in Male international airport, depending on how far your resort is from the airport you will have to take either a seaplane taxi or speedboat. Check with your resort if they provide transfers from the airport and back.</p>
<p>When choosing a resort, price is obviously the main consideration. You also have to think that this is a once in a lifetime experience that might never happen again. It wouldn&#8217;t hurt if you spend a little bit more than expected. Most resorts only offer bed and breakfast, cost of meals, drinks etc. maybe high in the resort. Some resorts in the Maldives offer all-inclusive packages, you can only eat in the main restaurant and have to pay extra if you want to try out the other restaurants.</p>
<p>There are a lot of things you can do while on vacation, like snorkeling, scuba diving, catamaran sailing and island hopping. You can even go on a <a href="http://www.scubamaldives.com" target="_blank">whale and dolphin watching safari</a>.</p>

<p>If you are a<a href="http://www.wwwmaldives.com" target="_blank"><em><strong> scuba diving</strong></em></a> fanatic who likes to spend most of his time in the water, then a liveaboard holiday in Maldives your best bet. Get to dive in the most pristine waters and the <a href="http://www.carpediemets.com/" target="_blank"><em><strong>best scuba diving spots in the Maldives</strong></em></a> plus you get to do it three times a day. What more could you ask for? There is no downtime when it comes to a <em><strong><a href="http://www.scubadivemaldives.com" target="_blank">liveaboard holiday</a></strong></em>, unlike in a hotel where you have to go back to a base to refuel and get more supplies. A liveaboard vessel has everything you need, scuba diving equipment, oxygen and food that would last for the whole trip, this means you jump from dive site to dive site without having to waste precious time.There are also dives sites where only hand made dhonis can go into, a liveaboard itinerary holds a lot of exotic sites that your ordinary tour operator would not include.</p>
<h2>The best way to explore the Maldives.</h2>
<p>The <a href="http://" target="_blank"><em><strong>Maldives</strong></em></a> is composed of 75% water this means the best way to explore and discover the different islands of this paradise is by boat. See floating sand banks, uninhabited islands and private coves. Jump off the boat into crystal clear waters. Wake up to dolphins circling the ship and to that magnificent sunrise, a 360 degree view of the bluest waters you will ever see adds to the growing appeal of a liveaboard holiday.</p>
<h3>Liveaboard holiday not only for scuba divers.</h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry non scuba divers can also have tons of fun on a liveaboard. You can snorkel on the same dive sites and see exotic fish and coral gardens. You don&#8217;t have to walk to get to the water, just jump from any part of the ship, swim with rays and dolphins and see their antics up close. Deck chairs are provided for those who want to get a delightful tan.</p>
