Tips
- Many hotels and dive shops quote prices in US dollars, but pay in MVR for local transactions
- Carry small cash; cards are accepted at resorts but not everywhere in local shops
- Friday is the weekly holiday— expect shorter opening hours
- Dress modestly in Malé (it's a local island, not a resort): cover shoulders and knees
- Ferries to islands run limited schedules, usually weekdays during daytime— plan ahead
