“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.”
After a successful Coral Restoration trip last year, this trip had large shoes to fill! After a fun week of activities, we are happy to report this year’s trip was one for the books full of coral cleaning, structure building and removing, days full of diving, and more!

Exploring underwater comes with many challenges for humans, so how do we enjoy the other 72% of our planet? We use equipment to adapt to the environment!
Life on a liveaboard is fairly simple, dive, eat, sleep, and repeat until your computer wonders if you’ve grown gills. The trip aboard the Nai’a to the Lau Islands of Fiji was no exception. Well, maybe with one little humpback whale-sized difference.
Ocean First has opened a new location in Key Largo, Florida and we are so excited to share our expansion with you! Often regarded as the diving capital of the States, the tropical waters of the Keys boasts an incredible diversity of marine environments, including mangroves, seagrass beds, and stunning coral reefs. Learn to dive, continue your training, and become an ocean advocate with us.
Ocean First returned to the beautiful Philippines for what promised to be a trip full of adventure and great diving. Our itinerary had us diving in Dumaguete on the island of Negros for some classic “muck” diving for a week followed by a week aboard the Azores liveaboard to explore the reefs of Tubbataha. This is arguably the “best of the Philippines” with a nice mix of weird, camouflaged creatures and brilliant reef and schooling fish. Our group got all of that and more on this expedition!
"When I was first certified, it was recommended that I purchase a wetsuit. Fast forward 4 years and 60 dives and all the gear was still in great shape and working perfectly. A year after that I started my Advanced training and quickly gained 40 more dives….and started freezing on dives that had previously been very comfortable. My suit was only 5 years old and looked perfect, so it had to be me, right??" Read about the importance of your wetsuit and factors that go into why you might need a new one sooner than you think!
As the sun gets hotter and the days get longer, us salty-haired and sandy-toed enthusiasts have one thing in mind: a long-awaited beach day. But as the summer sea-son approaches, we must remain mindful of our own impact on our beloved beaches. All marine life is a part of a very fragile ecosystem that we must protect at all costs.
Here’s some easy tips you can implement to ensure your next beach day is a blast for you and the sea!
All throughout March, we’re swinging our doors wide open and inviting you in to see what goes on Behind the B.
Being a B Corp is something we’re really proud of, so for the month of March, we’ll be sharing what our certification means to us and why it matters.
So here is your invitation to come on in and find out what's Behind the B.
B Corps have a story to tell! When you give B Corps, you are giving more than a gift. You are giving workers ethical and safe workplaces. You are contributing to flourishing communities. You are supporting the planet by supporting businesses like us that are working to protect it. Most of all, you are giving a gift that makes a difference.
Have you ever planned an adventure to a country that is so off the radar that most people need to consult a world map to know where it is? That’s what it was like to tell friends and family that I was heading out on safari to Namibia; you’re going where? I knew for sure I was in for the trip of a lifetime and Namibia delivered on all counts!
