So as I've mentioned, I'm submitting a review of my stay to Raffles @ Headforpoints.
As part of my review I was hoping/intending to comment on the diving from the Conrad.
I've visited South Ari Atoll a few times and dived many of the well known sites + done over 40 dives in Maldives, so I wasn't as desperate as I might of been.
So in short I won't be diving this trip, due to.....
The sightings of Mantas has been limited, esp in last couple of weeks but there's a few weeks left of the season yet.
The snorkelling has been so good on the house reef. (See next post for yet more pics to bore you with)
Me and my wife can enjoy the reef together.
This fits in with a relaxed schedule
I would like to comment on the staff at the Dive Centre, they have been approachable, honest, friendly, incredibly helpful to us and other guests. I'd have no hesitation in going diving with them if there was 80%+ chance of seeing Mantas.
