Overall Rating

After completing a week of diving on the Baani Adventurer (see separate
report) we spent 6 nights at the Conrad Hilton Rangali Resort and dove with
Subaqua Divers.  What a fabulous, and expensive, resort this is.  The dive
operation run by Alexis and his wife Claudia is great and professionally
run.  Comfortable diving from dhoni (local boat) with nitrox and a great
number of super dive sights nearby so no long boat trips.  They do have a
yacht that can take a group anywhere you wish for a price.  We were very
happy with the standard dive offerings. Hot tea or coffee after each dive
plus a fresh towel and fresh fruit and a bottle of water.  Fresh water
shower onboard as well as a marine head.  One dive site was the same we had
visited while on the liveaboard, Baani Adventurer.  It was a gorgeous soft
coral lined mini cave. Large numbers of tropicals, turtles now and then,
mantas on many dives as well as viewing them from a bridge and from a
waterside restaurant at the Hilton.  Many white and black tip sharks plus
sometimes a leopard or nurse.  One couple spotted a pair of hammerheads but
we were too busy taking photos to notice. Saw a whale on the surface from
the boat which was exciting for all incl. the dive staff. The Kadima is a
great wreck for all kinds of creatures and photo subjects.  I should
mention that the house reef at the Hilton provides some of the best
snorkeling I've seen anywhere.  The overwater villas and beach villas with
private pool and outside bathrooms are incredible.
