In celebration of women adventurers, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO, a vibrant property under the Atmosphere Core portfolio, has launched a unique International PADI Women’s Dive Month, expanding the excitement of PADI Women’s Dive Day into a full month of ocean exploration and wellness. Organized in collaboration with TGI Maldives, the ELE|NA Ayur Spa, and renowned Marine Biologist Luca Melodia, this initiative shines a spotlight on the spirit of discovery in the Indian Ocean and offers an enriching retreat for women, families, and friends.
The initiative follows a prestigious 2024 “PADI Outstanding Contribution to Women’s Diving” award bestowed upon TGI Maldives and OBLU NATURE Helengeli. With this accolade, the partners reaffirm their dedication to making the underwater world more accessible to women and encouraging family participation in diving experiences.
Located in North Malé Atoll, Helengeli Island offers an exceptional diving environment. Its lush house reef, situated just a few meters from the beach, along with nearby dive sites, are among the Maldives’ most treasured spots, ideal for both first-time snorkellers and seasoned divers. Throughout July, the island promises solo travelers, adventurous families, and groups of friends a series of special offerings to deepen their connection with the ocean.
Guests staying at the resort enjoy the benefits of the all-inclusive OBLU Island Plan™, complemented with a specially curated holiday package that includes wellness sessions, discounted dives, and interactive marine life talks to commemorate the spirit of PADI Women’s Dive Day.
TGI Maldives, an expert dive centre with over four decades of experience in supporting women in diving, leads the way with exclusive offers for women during July. Special discounts are available for all dives booked by female guests, including the PADI Discover Scuba Dive sessions, designed as a safe and rewarding introduction to the underwater world. Even those who have never swum before can experience the thrill of diving under the care of experienced instructors.
Greta Marcelli, Operations Manager of TGI Maldives, expressed the passion behind this year’s celebration: “Witnessing the joy of someone’s first dive is extraordinary. With Women’s Dive Month, we offer a rare chance for women, friends, and families to come together in an immersive tropical escape, blending adventure with wellness and connection. Partnering with ELE|NA Ayur Spa and Marine Biologist Luca Melodia allows us to create a journey filled with discovery, relaxation, and educational experiences.”
Adding a wellness dimension to the island adventure, the ELE|NA Ayur Spa team has designed an extensive program featuring over 18 activities throughout the month, including sunrise yoga by the beach, aqua aerobics, and core strength classes, all aimed at enhancing the physical conditioning essential for diving. As a special incentive, women who book a dive experience with TGI Maldives will also enjoy discounts on ELE|NA’s acclaimed Coconut Shell and Sand Bundle massages, rejuvenating therapies inspired by traditional Maldivian healing practices and crafted from sustainably sourced local ingredients.
Highlighting the significance of this initiative, Matt Wenger, PADI Regional Manager for the Maldives, stated, “TGI Maldives continues to lead the way in making scuba diving accessible to all. By extending PADI Women’s Dive Day into a full month at the spectacular OBLU NATURE Helengeli, we hope to welcome many new ocean lovers to the sport, while also offering opportunities for existing divers to further their certifications.”
Throughout July, guests can take advantage of generous promotions designed to make this experience even more accessible. Bookings for a minimum four-night fully inclusive stay at OBLU NATURE Helengeli come with a 20% discount. In addition, TGI Maldives offers a 20% discount on all women’s PADI-certified dive courses during the month, while ELE|NA Spa extends a 20% discount on their signature Coconut Shell and Sand Bundle treatments for women participating in the Dive Month courses.
As the Maldives continues to captivate the hearts of global travelers, the International PADI Women’s Dive Month at OBLU NATURE Helengeli invites women from around the world to dive into a journey of discovery, wellness, and pure tropical bliss.
