So in essence a trip for a rebreather is $400 additional, that's pretty decent.

I have been to the Maldives on OC and it's fantastic diving so I am interested in this.

What are the dives like when you have a rebreather, can you do two 3 hours dive every day and a 1-2 hour night dive ? What's the depth limit, I know it used to be 30m/95 feet regardless of certification, state law.

Where does the boat leave from, where does it go (reefs, wrecks?). What's the cost of a week on average on the boat. Does it only go to the Maldives?

I am asking those questions because they're hard to gather from your site.
