Diving from Conrad Maldives Rangali

Conrad Maldives Rangali's partner dive operation, Ocean Dive Centre, proudly offers PADI courses for kids and adults, guided scuba diving experiences on the house reef, and day trips in South Ari Atoll. Their patient and professional team are happy to offer hands-on assistance both above and below water, catering to every level of diver from beginner to pro. Divers of all skill and experience levels will love this shop's top of the line rental equipment and cameras, spacious and comfortable dive dhonis, detailed dive site and safety briefings, and once-in-a-lifetime whale shark excursions. 

South Ari Atoll is one of the Maldives’ most exciting dive destinations, known for year-round encounters with whale sharks, especially at legendary sites like Maamigili. This region is ideal for intermediate to advanced divers, with moderate currents, deep-water cleaning stations, and plunging channels and walls teeming with marine megafauna. Divers here can also explore the Machchafushi Wreck, carpeted with colourful corals and cool macro finds. Or, take it easy in current-free coral gardens and sheltered lagoons, playing host to turtles, juvenile sharks, and clouds of tropical reef fish.

Conservation

Conrad Maldives Rangali is on an eco-mission to make a difference. Their collaboration with the environmental organisation, Parley For The Oceans aims to help drive change and promote sustainable travel. Each villa will receive a Parley Kit, encouraging guests to reduce the use of materials that heavily impact the environment and ocean. 

The resort's current efforts aim to eliminate all single-use plastic from the island. To achieve this goal, they plan to replace plastic amenities such as toothbrushes with bamboo alternatives, replace plastic key cards with wooden key cards, and provide a plastic-free breakfast with yoghurt served in glass jars and paper-wrapped butter.

Launched in 2017, the Conrad Rangali’s coral regeneration plan aims to protect the reefs surrounding the resort. The program includes a coral nursery and a coral adoption programme for guests to partake in. Conrad Maldives Rangali is also contributing to the local Maldivian community with outreach programmes. These initiatives provide career and learning opportunities for local youths and include the Young Girls Apprenticeship Program, on-site hydroponics project promoting sustainable farming, and a local library project in Dhidhoo Island.
