If getting the photo means chasing the animal, I don’t want the photo.
Wild animals do not owe us a close encounter because we paid for a dive trip.
The ocean gives us what it gives us that day. Sometimes can be incredible. Sometimes the animal stays far away. Sometimes the thing you traveled across the world hoping to see does not show up at all.
That is wildlife.
We do not need to chase it, touch it, feed it, surround it, or make it uncomfortable so we can come home with the photo.
This is also something we look at when choosing dive operators for MHT.
How do they treat the reef? Do they give animals space? Will a guide correct a diver who is touching something? Do they respect the people and communities around them?
Those things matter when we decide who gets our business.
And I think they should matter when you travel on your own too.
Before your next dive trip, ask the operator how they handle wildlife encounters.
You are spending your money with them. You are allowed to know what you are supporting.
This is how we want to travel at MHT, and we want more divers asking these questions too.

A little late to the recap… but this one deserved a permanent spot on the feed 🩷🌊
Back in April, we celebrated 5 years of MHT the best way we know how, together, underwater, at the one and only Seaventures Dive Rig in Borneo.
A week of diving, ridiculous marine life, new friendships, old friends, a lot of laughs and a pretty special milestone for this community.
And clearly we loved it… because we’re going back every year. 🤿
Next year’s Rig trip is already full, but if this looks like your kind of week, check out our website for upcoming trips.
Maybe we’ll see you on one of them 🫶
Slide to the end to see how to join us on our trips! 😃

Not every dive trip should feel the same, and not every trip is going to be right for every diver.
Some weeks are about switching off, easy diving and plenty of downtime. Others take you somewhere remote, challenge you a little more, or give you the chance to experience a destination far beyond the dive sites.
That’s why our trips are designed differently, so you can choose the kind of experience that feels right for you.

One spot open on our all-women Cuba liveaboard charter. 🇨🇺🦈
This trip is to Jardines de la Reina , January 25–30, 2027.
We are taking 30 women to dive one of the most remote marine parks in the Caribbean. That alone is special to us.
Five nights on a liveaboard, healthy reefs, sharks, very few other boats, and a full women-only charter with a supportive group around you.
I also think Cuba is one of the best first liveaboards we offer.
It is short, beginner-friendly, and a good way to experience liveaboard life without committing to a longer trip. You do not need to be an expert diver for this one.
You just need to be comfortable in the water, open to learning the rhythm of a liveaboard, and excited for a different kind of experience.
Comment CUBA and I’ll send you the details.

One thing that helps group travel go smoother:
Keep up with the trip communication :)
For MHT trips, we use WhatsApp for most group communication. That is where we send reminders, updates, questions, meeting times, little changes, and the normal group chatter that starts before a trip.
So about one month before your trip, please keep your WhatsApp notifications on and check the group once in a while.
You do not need to answer every message, but you do need to know what is happening.
This will help you feel prepared.
We also do a pre-trip chat before travel where we go over the expectations, the schedule, the diving, the destination, and what are the things you need to pack.
We also have 3 forms that help us keep your information organized, we use the forms to book your transfers, to select your roommate and to chose your dive buddy and dive team.
And if you are new to MHT, our Instagram highlights are a good place to peek at how our trips work before you go.
Group travel feels easier when people read the information, check WhatsApp, show up to the pre-trip chat, and tell us their concerns early.
Once you travel with us once, the second trip feels so much easier because you already know how everything works. A big part of our community is made up of repeat travelers, and I think that says a lot about the experience we try to create.
If you have your eye on a trip, don’t wait too long to reach out. Many of our trips fill quickly, and we’re always happy to answer questions before you decide.
