Patina Maldives, Fari Islands Unveils ‘Ocean Pearl’ Submarine for a Unique Underwater Experience

Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, a trailblazing island innovator, and Dive Butler International, a pioneering operator of diving and water sports, have recently unveiled an exquisite addition to their collection of extraordinary guest experiences: the remarkable two-person submarine called 'Ocean Pearl'. This remarkable addition not only enhances the resort's offerings by providing unparalleled exploration and adventure opportunities, but also plays a vital role in safeguarding the environment and supporting marine biology initiatives in the Maldives and its neighboring areas. In collaboration with Dive Butler, the resort has taken a significant step forward by establishing the Maldives' first-ever submarine pilot training facility.

The Ocean Pearl was created by SEAmagine Hydrospace Corporation, a globally renowned company that specializes in recreational submarines. Established in 1995, SEAmagine is widely recognized for its expertise in this industry. Over the years, their submersibles have completed more than 12,000 dives, surpassing the combined total of dives conducted by all other competitors. These exceptional submarines are extensively utilized by numerous leisure, commercial, defense, and scientific organizations worldwide.

Ocean Pearl operates in partnership with Dive Butler, whose submarine pilots have successfully completed SEAmagine's intensive training program. This program was initially created in collaboration with the US Coast Guard and has now become the industry standard. Each expedition is led by a skilled onboard pilot and a surface co-pilot, guaranteeing the safety of guests and providing them with a deep understanding of marine life. This educational aspect enhances the overall experience, adding to the awe-inspiring wonder of exploring the ocean depths.

Deeper Flight adventures In Maldives:

Patina Maldives guests are presented with an extraordinary opportunity to explore the captivating marine life and underwater marvels surrounding the Fari Islands through the introduction of Ocean Pearl. This remarkable vessel boasts an exceptional propulsion system, granting unparalleled agility, a 360-degree cabin view, and an impressive selection of subsea tools. With Ocean Pearl, guests can safely and accurately navigate near reefs, allowing for enchanting and unobstructed views of the mesmerizing corals, rare marine species, and hidden treasures that lie beneath the ocean's surface.

Contributing to marine preservation:

Ocean Pearl provides guests with a chance to go beyond just observing manta rays and sea turtles in their natural habitat. Instead, guests can actively engage in immersive initiatives under the sea, working towards the preservation and protection of the marine ecosystem. With the guidance of marine biologists and environmental experts, guests have the opportunity to collect and document data, contributing to ongoing research efforts. By participating in marine biology projects, guests become an integral part of a crucial collective effort to comprehend and safeguard the fragile marine ecosystem in the Maldives and the surrounding area.
