At Dive Butler International, every season invites us to look deeper — to reflect on the details that make each journey meaningful, and to reaffirm our promise to protect the oceans we love. This latest update shares where we’ve been, who inspires us, and how we continue to shape purposeful experiences both above and below the surface.
Autumn invites reflection – a season to slow down, look deeper, and notice the details that make every dive meaningful.
For Dive Butler, it’s a reminder of our promise: to lead with purpose, protect what we love, and elevate every journey beneath the surface. From curating transformative yacht expeditions to championing sustainable practices, we’re committed to creating experiences that enrich both our guests and the communities we touch.
Looking ahead, Alexis will begin leading select expeditions each year, offering rare opportunities to explore the ocean in its purest form.
DIVE BUTLER AMBASSADOR: SOPHIE MORGAN
We are honoured to welcome disability rights advocate and broadcaster Sophie Morgan as Dive Butler Ambassador.
Sophie trained with our Founder, Alexis Vincent, at Amilla Maldives, discovering the freedom and empowerment diving can offer. Together, we are working with PADI to make diving more inclusive across all Dive Butler Centres, ensuring the ocean can be experienced by people of all abilities.
Her story is one of transformation, courage, and vision – and it inspires us to continue leading with purpose.
