OCEAN 6|50

Ocean 6|50 brought divers together in the Maldives in 2022 to raise awareness of ocean plastic pollution and the threats facing marine ecosystems. The event also marked 50 years of tourism and diving in the country.

At its heart was a 50-hour continuous dive by Maldivian technical diver and instructor Shafraz “Shaff” Naeem. Supported by local and international divers, Shaff remained underwater at a depth of six metres from 25 to 27 February.

A total of 178 divers participated in the event, showing their support for ocean protection. The dedication of the support team made the endurance dive possible.
