This June, Sirru Fen Fushi – Private Lagoon Resort, a sanctuary of luxury and ecological harmony in the Maldives, will commemorate World Oceans Day with a bold and inspiring initiative that blends marine exploration, environmental advocacy, and community engagement. In a powerful partnership with Freedive Maldives, the Guinness World Record holder for the most people performing static apnea in October 2022, the resort invites guests and locals alike to dive deep, both literally and metaphorically, into the heart of ocean conservation.
An Immersive Ocean Tribute in the Maldives' Largest Natural Lagoon
Situated within one of the Maldives’ most expansive and biodiverse natural lagoons, Sirru Fen Fushi is the ideal setting for this landmark event. The celebration promises to offer more than a moment—it delivers an experience of purpose, where adventure meets awareness beneath the waves.
Guests will take part in expert-led PADI freediving courses, tailored for all levels—from complete beginners to seasoned enthusiasts. These immersive sessions will not only award participants with internationally recognized certifications but will also open the doors to explore the resort’s extraordinary 9-kilometer-long house reef, a thriving ecosystem home to manta ray cleaning stations, nurse shark coves, and flourishing coral gardens.
The reef’s inhabitants, including 93 resident turtles and 11 new hatchlings recorded in 2025 alone, speak to the reef’s vitality and Sirru Fen Fushi’s steadfast dedication to protecting marine life.
A Collaboration Rooted in Conservation
“Our reef isn’t just a natural wonder—it’s a living symbol of our promise to safeguard the oceans,” shares Lukasz Prendke, General Manager of Sirru Fen Fushi. “This partnership with Freedive Maldives allows us to go beyond offering memorable guest experiences. It lets us spark change, empower local talent, and inspire the next generation to value and protect our oceans.”
The initiative is an extension of Sirru Fen Fushi’s wider sustainability agenda, which includes regular lagoon and reef clean-ups, coral restoration projects, and educational outreach programs that bridge tourism and conservation. By aligning with Freedive Maldives, the resort brings world-class expertise and a shared mission to the forefront of its ocean advocacy.
Beyond World Oceans Day: A Broader Marine Movement
The collaboration doesn't end with this event. In a visionary step toward broader impact, Freedive Maldives has also signed a landmark agreement with the Baa Atoll Council to host another record-breaking freediving event in October 2025, aligning with World Tourism Day. This initiative is poised to place Baa Atoll at the forefront of eco-conscious marine tourism, championing the Maldives as a global model for sustainable travel and underwater stewardship.
A Call to Dive Deeper
This World Oceans Day, Sirru Fen Fushi invites explorers, dreamers, and conservationists to go beyond the surface—to experience the ocean not just as a playground, but as a precious resource worth celebrating and preserving.
With crystal-clear waters, a reef teeming with life, and a passion for sustainability embedded in every dive, this celebration is more than a tribute to the sea—it’s a rallying cry for its future. Join Sirru Fen Fushi and Freedive Maldives in creating a wave of awareness, action, and awe beneath the waves.
