Comments	This was my 6th trip to Conrad Rangali. Really nice resort with a really good variety of restaurants. Very expensive for food and drink. Ocean Divers are the on site dive and watersports operator. A very professional set up with strong focus on safety and the environment. I was on holiday for 12 nights, so my focus wasn't entirely on diving. However, I managed 14 dives in total, either a two tank morning trip or the 1 tank afternoon trip. They have new dive dhonis.

We were last there September 2022 on our 8th trip but our first in the fall season. Lucked out with wonderful, sunny, calm weather.
