Worst part is that I can't find a liveaboard with dates after the hotel stay...
Try ScubaSpa...they do Saturday to Saturday out of Male. I did their "deep south" this February...its not your typical "hardcore" liveaboard and pretty plush as far as liveaboards go.
You will have a mandatory PCR covid test done the night before disembarkation from the liveaboard. This "no transfer" from liveaboard/guest house to hotel resort is not government mandated...so act accordingly as you see fit in how you share your travel plans. I would argue that you are less likely to be an infection vector coming from a liveaboard to the hotel since everyone on the liveaboard had a PCR test when they arrived and you spent 7 days together not mixing with anyone outside of the boat followed by another PCR test to disembark/travel home. The guests inbound to the Westin on the other hand are more likely to have false negatives.
Good luck with the trip.
