Hey there! I’m Nittu — a dive professional and ocean lover from the Maldives 🏝️. Welcome to IslandLens Life — a space where I share my journey through diving, underwater photography, and everyday island life. I’ve spent countless hours exploring coral reefs, swimming alongside turtles, manta rays, and colorful marine life — and every dive reminds me how beautiful and fragile our oceans truly are.

Breathing Underwater: Scuba Diving as Meditation One of the things I love most about diving is how peaceful it feels beneath the surface. Down there, the world becomes quiet — no noise, no rush, no stress. Just the sound of your own slow breathing and the rhythm of the ocean.

If you’ve ever slipped beneath the waves in the Maldives, you already know this: sharks are not the villains of our ocean — they’re the heartbeat of it. As a diver, I’ve watched these beautiful animals glide through blue water with calm confidence. They’re misunder...
