The Destination
Red Sea: Home to World’s Top Dive Sites
The Red Sea hosts about 1,200 marine species and around 200 different species of corals, at least 10 percent of which are endemic. It is the northernmost tropical sea in the world, and connects with the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south.
The Red Sea reaches a maximum depth of 2,200 metres and features established patterns of oceanic currents that circulate fresh nutrients.
The result of it is that coral reefs are very well developed and support an incredible density of marine life. Our dive route features deep walls full of life and stunning wrecks that make the region a true world class diving destination.

Founder's Note
Hello, I am Nishi and I’m a SCUBA diver, freediver, and entrepreneur. I used to be a data scientist but the call of Mother Ocean is bigger than us all. Few key life events and hours of introspection led me to quit the corporate world and I found myself sitting on the beach with a life jacket (yes, I did not know how to swim back then)! Over the last few years I’ve been grateful to have the opportunity to launch and grow our Maldives vertical, Mad over Maldives. Me and my team are humbled by the love and support we’ve received from our wonderful customers. Oceaon is now expanding boundaries and I am elated to host you in iconic dive destinations across the world.
