Comments	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.
