Taking a bold step in championing women in diving, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO, part of the Atmosphere Core portfolio, has launched the first-ever PADI Women’s Dive Month in collaboration with TGI Maldives, ELE|NA Ayur spa, and Marine Biologist Luca Melodia. Extending the spirit of PADI Women’s Dive Day on 19th July into an entire month, this initiative gives solo women travellers, families, and groups of friends more opportunities to explore the underwater beauty of the Maldives.

Following the 2024 “PADI Outstanding Contribution to Women's Diving” award, both TGI Maldives and OBLU NATURE Helengeli continue their mission to introduce more women and families to the joys of diving. Helengeli island, with its exotic house reef located just metres from the shore, and surrounding dive sites, offers unparalleled diving experiences suitable for beginners and professionals alike.

Throughout July, guests at OBLU NATURE Helengeli can enjoy special offerings such as discounted dives, marine life talks, wellness activities, and curated holiday packages as part of the comprehensive OBLU Island Plan™. TGI Maldives, with over 40 years of experience in ocean diving, is offering exclusive discounts on all dives booked by women during the month, including the PADI Discover Scuba Dive sessions ideal even for non-swimmers.

Highlighting the initiative, TGI Maldives Operations Manager Greta Marcelli shared, “There’s nothing like seeing guests’ emotions after their first dive. While we celebrate women in diving year-round, PADI Women’s Dive Month in July provides a platform to offer more reasons to join us in paradise.”

The celebration is further enriched by ELE|NA Ayur spa, which has curated over 18 wellness activities including sunrise yoga, aqua aerobics, and core stability classes. These sessions aim to enhance flexibility and stamina, supporting guests in their diving journeys. Additionally, women who book a dive experience will enjoy special discounts on the spa’s signature Coconut Shell and Sand Bundle massages, crafted with locally sourced, sustainable ingredients.

PADI Regional Manager Matt Wenger noted, “By extending our PADI Women’s Dive Day celebration into a month-long event at the stunning OBLU NATURE Helengeli resort, we aim to welcome even more newcomers to the sport while also offering advanced certifications for enthusiasts.”

This July, guests are invited to embrace the spirit of exploration and relaxation by booking their stay with a 20% discount on a minimum four-night fully inclusive package. TGI Maldives and ELE|NA spa are also extending a 20% discount on women’s PADI-certified dive courses and spa treatments booked throughout the month.
