Re: Maldives? Advice from, Bob Fenner :) - 0713/2006
Hi
Bob and Anthony:
<Josep>
On the beginning thanks at both for the
interest (Anthony for redirect me to an expert, and Bob for interests to
trick me on this trip)
<Welcome>
As I tell to Anthony I'll be a
few days on Maldives and I'm searching info for have a better trip and
schedule as much as I can (as looks I have the
same fast overview,
all looks really expensive)
My main interests are, dive or snorkel,
relax and maybe some professional interests (maximum I can stop 1 day at
my wife) about exporters, traders or fishers.
<Mmm, well, all the
business gets done/through Male... you'll fly in/on the island next
door... transit through here. Not many folks in the country...
few
pet-fish...>
I will be on Male north (I'm looking for the island
name but I can't found the name. The hotel is Taj Coral.
Will be
great to have your experience on this country.
<Do take advantage of
all the diving you can... bring your still and video underwater photo
equipment... Sign up for a/the "package" deal for all as
far as you
can. Bob Fenner>

Thanks Bob:
I understand that my best option is
dive and snorkel (nice)
There's only a thing that I don't understand
on your answer >Sign up for a/the "package" deal for all as far as you
can.
What do you want to tell with it? (sorry maybe my english is
not good enough, I can't understand that what kind of package do you
refer.
Thanks
Josep
<Oh, lo siento... entiendo "Toto
inclusivo"... Las comidas, bebidas,
transportante, hotel, desportes,
buceandes... toto por uno precio. BobF> Re: Maldives? Advice
from, Bob Fenner :) - 0713/2006
Thanks for the response.
The issues was only with the context.
Bob, did you dive?
<Oh,
si! Me gusta bucear>
if yes, some divers explain me about higher
flows, is it soo difficult?
<Near the breaks in the atolls, out to
the Indian Ocean... mucho!>
I'll go with my wife and I'm a few
worried.
<The dive businesses there are very competent... If in
doubt just dive in the inner lagoons>
thanks for your explanations.
Josep
<El gusto es mio... pero, no Castellano! Roberto Fenner>
