At Solitude, we believe the best dive travel comes from the heart of a family business backed by a professional soul . Whether you are exploring the pristine channels of Palau, the vibrant reefs of the Philippines, or the legendary waters of Indonesia, our mission is to provide a safe, grounded, and connected home for your underwater adventures.

With fleet-wide Starlink connectivity, dedicated camera studios, and Nautilus GPS safety for every diver, we ensure you stay as close to the world as you are to the ocean.

We look forward to welcoming you to our family and expanding our horizons to the Maldives in 2027.

Destinations Crafted by Divers

We don’t just book trips; we run them. From the UNESCO-listed reefs of Tubbataha to the specialized muck diving of Lembeh, our destinations are chosen based on decades of real-world operational experience. We handle the complex local logistics—from navigating fragmented permit systems to managing seasonal migrations—so you can focus entirely on the dive.

Dive Avelo at Solitude

Solitude World is the official Asia-Pacific launchpad for the Avelo System, a revolutionary diving technology that redefines underwater stability and comfort.

Avelo dive center banner

We’ve always believed that the best dives are the ones where the gear disappears and the experience takes over. That’s why we’ve become the Asia-Pacific launchpad for the Avelo System, a technology that finally makes diving feel like flying.

Instead of the constant “task loading” of an air-filled BCD, Avelo uses a clever hydro-tank that stays perfectly stable whether you are at 5 meters or 30—so you can just breathe and enjoy the view. It is a literal weight off your shoulders, too; the entire setup is roughly 14kg lighter than standard gear, making those boat ladders and beach walks feel easy again.

You can experience this “buoyancy without the bubble” right now at Solitude Acacia or onboard Solitude One, and we are working hard to bring it to Solitude Lembeh and the rest of our fleet soon.
