Hi Ocean Lovers,
We're super excited to announce three extraordinary liveaboard expeditions and retreats for 2026 that will take you to some of the most spectacular waters on the planet. These 10-day adventures combine everything we love about ocean exploration: freediving, scuba diving, island discovery, paddleboarding, snorkeling, morning meditations, genuine connection, adventure, delicious fresh food, and restorative time immersed in nature.
Whether you're looking to deepen your freediving practice, explore untouched marine ecosystems, or simply disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with yourself, these trips offer life-changing experiences for ocean lovers of all levels.
1. Madagascar Expedition (27th April - 6th May 2026)
This is a rare opportunity to explore one of the Indian Ocean's wildest and most unspoiled coastlines. Madagascar promises an adventure unlike any other, where ancient landscapes meet vibrant marine life and rich cultural traditions.
What Awaits You:
Encounters with giant green turtles gliding through pristine waters.
Enormous coral fans swaying in the currents.
Lemur sightings and immersion in authentic Malagasy culture.
Freediving and scuba diving in lesser-known marine sanctuaries.
Snorkeling, paddleboarding, and exploration of stunning coastal landscapes.
Morning meditation sessions to start each day centered and present.
Madagascar's wild beauty and untouched reefs make this expedition perfect for those seeking adventure off the beaten path.
2. Raja Ampat Liveaboard (29th October – 7th November 2026)
In collaboration with Freediving London, we're heading to one of the most biodiverse marine environments on Earth. Raja Ampat is legendary among divers, and for good reason—this Indonesian archipelago represents marine biodiversity at its absolute peak. More info: https://freedivinglondon.co.uk/3731-2/
What Makes Raja Ampat Extraordinary:
Towering limestone karst islands rising dramatically from turquoise waters.
Manta ray cleaning stations where these gentle giants gather.
The most pristine and flourishing coral reefs anywhere in the world.
Calm, protected bays perfect for depth training or relaxed freediving.
Seamless cruising between dive sites aboard a comfortable liveaboard.
This is the dream destination for any serious freediver or ocean enthusiast. The combination of world-class diving and breathtaking above-water scenery creates an experience that stays with you forever.
3. Seychelles Outer Islands – Amirantes Retreat (13th November - 22nd November 2026)
This is our signature retreat, and for good reason. The Amirantes archipelago represents paradise in its purest form—a chain of pristine coral atolls with some of the healthiest reefs in all of Seychelles.
Your Experience Includes:
Morning breathwork sessions on deck as the sun rises over the Indian Ocean.
Freediving and scuba diving over untouched coral gardens.
Swimming alongside manta rays, hundreds of turtles, and reef sharks.
Visits to six remote coral island atolls.
Access to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Crystal-clear waters with visibility that has to be seen to be believed.
In the Amirantes, you'll experience what it means to be truly alone in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The remoteness, the silence, the pristine marine environment—it's a privilege few people ever get to experience.
