Any suggestions on where to Honeymoon in Maldives?

Hi
Any suggestions on where to Honeymoon in Maldives, we are both instructors and looking for a bit of luxury but also want to dive most days. We are looking to travel next July, has anyone been there at this time of year...if so what was the weather like then?
Thanks x

I've not travelled at this time of year, I went 2 years ago, in February & September, ( it rained a bit during september and a few storms )

Elliadahoo, was a fantastic Island, rated 3 - 4 star, food good, staff good, accomadation superb, with a fantastic house reef, and unlimited diving on it, even the local guides from a different Island, rated this house reef as one of the very best in the Maldives. I'd highly recomend it.

Summer Island, on the other hand was very nasty, could'nt wait to get away from the place, terrible house reef, food bad, and leaking sewers on the Island, you could'nt pay me to go back there.

FILITHEYO 5* one of the nicest islands I have visited and AFAIK its got good diving - unfortunatly I wasn't a diver at the time we were there. (we have always gone in November so cannot speak about the weather at other times of the year.)

ROYAL ISLAND 5* Good diving, the best dive of my life awsome manta cleaning station. Best all inclusive package we have ever had, everything bar champagne - a girl we were with drank a full bottle of Glenfidic on night on the AI package. Poor beaches for the Maldives but OK by other standards.

We had our honeymoon on the Barutheela. It was fantastic

We also had a week on an island - hated it and flew home early (Helengeli I think) but the boat was much better. All in, lovely staff, great food, lots of different sites.
