Diving is fun, but pricey. Go early in your trip if you want to do this.

SUP and kayaks are free.
Jetskiiing is fun, but also $$$.

Thanks :)

How accommodating are they about making a kosher breakfast?

When I went to the conrad the chef knew all about kosher, so he brought us a new pan, made me check the egg for blood spots, turned off the Fire for me to relight, found a bottle of shop rite Pam that a ddfer left before me and knew to serve on plastic.
If you have status theyll make you free breakfast.

It was free, but it didn't fit me well.

Their diving masks were much better, but that is reserved for diving.

Did those of you who brought along frozen meals (such as from Pomegranate) have an issue bringing in beef entrees if it was clearly labeled as beef?

Unless your beef is porn, pork, or alcohol, you won't have an issue.

And drugs are illegal.

Feel free to Google the Maldives government site. You can bring in Meals. The items that are illegal are quite limited.

I found ski bobbing to be cool as well.

Combination of snorkeling and jetskiing (YouTube it).

Thanks.

I know alcohol is a big no no which is a real shame but too bad. You either go without or shell out the big money.
