Raja Ampat rewards the divers who slow down.

With more than 1,500 islands and exceptional marine biodiversity, this expedition explores Misool and Dampier Strait.

Look closely and you might find frogfish, pygmy seahorses, octopus, cuttlefish and nudibranchs. Look into the blue and the scale changes completely.

Mantas, reef sharks and huge coral landscapes are part of a much bigger underwater story.

10–18 March 2028.

Bring your camera. And plenty of curiosity.

Lord Howe Island is one of those destinations where the details make it special.

Its World Heritage marine park supports more than 450 fish species and 90 coral species, including species unique to the region.

Then there is Ball's Pyramid, a dramatic sea stack surrounded by a unique marine environment.

The 2027 OceanLife expedition is sold out, but the 2028 expedition gives you another opportunity to experience this remarkable island.

OceanLife expeditions are built around three simple ideas:

Explore the ocean.

Understand the wildlife and environments you're entering.

Respect the places and animals that make these journeys possible.

That can mean learning from a marine biologist, observing wildlife responsibly, contributing to citizen science, supporting local operators or simply coming home with a deeper understanding of the ocean.

Explore. Understand. Respect.

That's the OceanLife approach.

Some places make you realize just how much there is still to discover.

Raja Ampat is home to more than 1,500 islands and is widely regarded as the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystem.

For the March 2028 OceanLife expedition, the route explores Misool and Dampier Strait, with opportunities to encounter manta rays, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, octopus, nudibranchs, cuttlefish and countless other species.

And because this is OceanLife, the experience goes beyond diving.

The 9-day expedition is limited to just 10 guests and includes marine wildlife presentations, photography and editing advice, local culture, and time to explore with a marine biologist.

Raja Ampat is not somewhere you rush through.

You go there to look closer.

For divers who want more than one corner of the Maldives.

Best of the Maldives is the longer, more diving-focused expedition, with multiple atolls and a wider variety of underwater environments.

Think drift dives, channels, pinnacles, cleaning stations and colourful reefs, with up to 18 dives across the 11-night expedition.

It is particularly suited to experienced divers, underwater photographers and returning Maldives travellers who want to explore further.

15–26 September 2027.

Cocos Island isn't a quick getaway.

Located around 550 kilometres off Costa Rica, this remote Pacific destination is known for nutrient-rich currents, volcanic seamounts and exceptional pelagic encounters.

Hammerheads, Galápagos sharks, silky sharks, mantas and large schools of fish are among the possibilities.

Because conditions can shape the diving, flexibility is part of the expedition.

22 July–1 August 2029.

For experienced divers ready to go a long way for the right encounter.

When a guest comes back for a second expedition, that says a lot. 🌊

Sarah joined Amanda for her second trip and described her Raja Ampat experience as both effortless and unforgettable.

From organizing every detail to being an exceptional diver and photographer, Sarah highlights exactly what we want every OceanLife guest to experience: expert guidance, seamless logistics, incredible destinations, and a whole lot of fun along the way.

And then there is the UNO reputation...

We'll let Sarah have the final word:

“If you want to experience the world's best dive destinations with a fun, knowledgeable leader, I can't recommend Amanda highly enough.”

Thank you, Sarah. We can't wait for the next adventure.

The destination is only part of the story.

When you travel with OceanLife, you're joining a small group led by someone who has spent decades working with marine wildlife, diving, photographing, researching and teaching.

You are booking the logistics being handled.

The wildlife knowledge.

The local partnerships.

The photography advice.

The marine life presentations.

The little details that let you focus on why you came in the first place.

And hopefully, a few stories you'll still be telling years later.

Because the best expedition isn't simply somewhere you went.

It is something you experienced.
