In celebration of PADI Women’s Dive Day on 18 July 2026, Coco Bodu Hithi invites certified women divers to come together for a meaningful morning beneath the surface,  combining marine conservation with the joy of exploring the ocean in one of the Maldives' most vibrant  natural environments. 

Inspired by this year's global theme, "Celebrate Community. Create Change.", the resort's Women of the  Ocean Reef Clean-Up Dive encourages to connect through shared passion for the underwater world while making a positive impact on the environment. Designed exclusively for certified women divers, the guided reef clean-up dive offers the opportunity to explore Coco Bodu Hithi's biodiverse house reef while helping remove debris and protect its delicate ecosystem. 

At the heart of it all is Coco Dive, the resort's PADI-certified dive centre, where guests can discover the  beauty and wonders of the Maldives through safe, personalised and memorable underwater  adventures. Whether taking their very first breath below the surface or exploring advanced dive sites,  guests are guided by an experienced, multilingual team of instructors dedicated to creating  unforgettable diving experiences. 

Just minutes from the resort, divers can access almost 30 renowned dive sites, home to vibrant coral reefs and an abundance of marine life, including hawksbill turtles, white-tip and grey reef sharks, eagle rays, barracuda, Napoleon fish, schools of blue-striped snappers, batfish and fusiliers. Guests looking to begin their marine adventures can also start their certification before arrival through PADI eLearning,  allowing them to spend more time exploring the ocean once they reach the Maldives. 

"At Coco Bodu Hithi, we believe every dive is an opportunity to build a deeper connection with the  ocean," said Jinn Hui, Dive Base Leader for Coco Bodu Hithi. "PADI Women's Dive Day celebrates the growing community of women in diving while reminding us that small actions, such as removing debris, can make a meaningful difference to the health of our reefs."
