A trip with Livingseas Asia is more than just diving in beautiful waters—it’s about becoming part of something meaningful and lasting. What sets them apart is their blend of high-quality experiences, a passionate and knowledgeable team, and a deep-rooted commitment to ocean conservation.

They are not your typical dive centre: The team is made up of local experts, marine conservationists, and experienced dive instructors, all working together to create real impact beneath the surface. While their focus is coral reef restoration, they also introduce guests to innovative topics such as coral mapping, reef health monitoring, and the role of coral structures in carbon capture. Guests don’t just plant coral—they gain a deeper understanding of how marine ecosystems function and how they can play an active role in protecting them.

Their strong connection with the local community is another key part of who they are. Many of their team members are from Padangbai, and they work closely with local partners to support the economy and raise awareness about ocean conservation. It’s not just a trip—it’s an opportunity to connect with people, culture, and nature on a more meaningful level.

LivingSeas Asia keeps their group sizes small to ensure every guest receives a personal and enriching experience. Whether it’s your first time diving or you’re a seasoned explorer, they make sure you leave inspired, informed, and empowered to make a difference.

What is the philosophy behind Livingseas Asia?

At Livingseas Asia, the philosophy is rooted in the belief that conservation and conscious travel must go hand in hand. They see tourism not just as a way to explore the world, but as a powerful force for environmental protection and education – values they proudly share with Natucate.

Based in Bali, one of the most biodiverse marine environments on the planet, they feel a deep responsibility to care for the ocean that supports life above and below the surface. Coral reefs are vital ecosystems – home to marine biodiversity, protectors of coastlines, and lifelines for local communities. But they’re under serious threat, and they believe action must happen now.

That’s why their work focuses on active coral reef restoration, using ecological techniques like Reef Star structures to rebuild damaged reefs and accelerate coral growth. Through their Livingseas Foundation, they support long-term conservation efforts, engage local communities, and deliver education that empowers people to be part of the solution.

For them, conscious travel means more than just minimising harm – it means creating a lasting, positive impact. They welcome travellers who want to dive deeper, literally and figuratively, into marine conservation. And the team is committed to collaboration, transparency, and building a global network of purpose-driven explorers.

In partnership with Conscious Explorer, they hope to continue inspiring people to travel with intention, learn from nature, and protect the ecosystems that make this planet extraordinary.
