I did stop posting partway into the scubaspa trip in the Maldives but that was mainly because I was semi-embarrassed about the luxury I was enjoying and I thought you all might get tired of photos of wonderful food.
Every single meal was superb. Breakfast was served after the first dive so the divers had an excuse to be hungry. I did not but it didn't stop me.
On our penultimate day on the boat, we made a 4 hour trip across open ocean and were warned it would get rough. Fortunately I had my daily spa treatment early (I had spa treatments because I didn't dive) rather than deal with the rocking and rolling of the boat, which I can still feel as I write this 5 days after leaving the boat. The passage was indeed rough. Closet doors flew open and clothes and suitcases landed on the floor. Potted plants on the deck rolled over and broke and a lot of water washed onto the decks. The crew was pretty damned good-took it all in stride and by evening we were all ready for a drink, made by our amazing barmen who created some lovely concoctions.
