Yeah, hope not to sound too jammy, but i can either go to malta and get a bunch of good dives in that while i've done before, i'd happy do again, maybe with some new ones in....

or

The red sea on a liveaboard, doing 'the usual suspects'...what ever they are, which i've never done.

Cant decide, suggestions? (i'm leaning to the red sea as i've never done it before though:confused: )

Though we may try to deny it, we have instincts. Trust them.

If cost is no problem then it has to be the liveaboard.

I'm off to Malta in just under 3 weeks but thats because I did a liveaboard in March, it's now the better half's turn for a holiday.:D

Having said that I do enjoy floating round the Rozi and Um el Faroud even though I have been going to Malta each year since '93' (at least twice a year and sometimes 3 times). I have made some good friends and also like the people there.

easy choice, a millisecond to decide, red sea livaboard, no question!

Well! Have a shufti here and you will see a variety of Red Sea liveaboards and a trip to Malta. I loved Malta but have to say Red Sea liveboards are my delight:

Both places offer some superb diving. For me the deciding factor would be the fact that I detest shore diving with an absolute passion and I much prefer taking my bed to sea.

Red sea for me John.

Malta is fantastic, however the red sea on a liveaboard is great as well as you have not done the liveabord yet. Thistlegorm will blow your mind, fantastic wreck.

Pay a bit extra for nitrox and bulk buy immodium ( well the boots generic cheaper version).

I'm thinking of Malta in December :)

I would vote Malta, but I'm a bit biased!

Hope to see you out here sometime.

When you get to my age - liveaboard! (I've been on a liveaboard in Malta too.)
