The “ACROSS MALDIVES” dive event, organized by the non-profit Ocean Six Fifty, is set to inspire by showcasing the breathtaking beauty and diversity of their underwater world.

Ocean 6|50 was a landmark diving event aimed to raise awareness and advocate about the damaging effects of ocean plastic pollution, climate change, and the marine ecosystem.
