There’s something unforgettable about your first dive. The quiet, the colors, the way time seems to pause as you move through another world. At OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO, that moment is being opened up to more women than ever before.
This July, the island is going beyond a single day of celebration. In collaboration with TGI Maldives, ELE|NA Ayur Spa, and marine biologist Luca Melodia, Helengeli is hosting a full PADI Women’s Dive Month-a bold step toward making the underwater world more accessible, inclusive, and joyful.
Where Adventure Meets Intention
Tucked away in the North Malé Atoll, Helengeli is a diver’s paradise. The house reef is just steps from shore, teeming with marine life, and the nearby dive sites suit everyone-from curious first-timers to seasoned scuba pros.
Throughout the month of July, women visiting the island can take advantage of exclusive dive offers, whether they’re dipping their fins in for the first time or looking to level up with a certification. TGI Maldives has been empowering women to explore the ocean for over 40 years, and this initiative is another step toward building an even more welcoming community underwater.
Wellness, the Island Way
Of course, the magic doesn’t stop at the shoreline. The ELE|NA Ayur Spa team has put together a lineup of over 18 wellness sessions for the month-from sunrise yoga by the ocean to strength and stability classes that support your body’s movement both above and below water.
Women booking dive experiences will also be treated to savings on the spa’s signature Coconut Shell and Sand Bundle massage-rooted in traditional Maldivian healing practices and made using ingredients sourced right from the islands.
It’s More Than a Trip-It’s a Journey
Whether you’re traveling solo, on a girls’ getaway, or bringing the family, PADI Women’s Dive Month is a chance to do something for yourself. Try something new. Step outside your comfort zone. Reconnect-with nature, with your body, with joy.
As Greta Marcelli from TGI Maldives puts it, “You never forget that first dive. We just want to create more of those moments for more women, in a place that feels both adventurous and safe.”
This July, let the ocean pull you in. Book your stay at OBLU NATURE Helengeli with Lets Go Maldives, and dive into something extraordinary.
