Sun Siyam Resorts Celebrates World Oceans Day 2025 with Mermaid Psyche, Ocean Advocate and Freediving Instructor

 

Malé, Maldives – June 16, 2025 – In honour of World Oceans Day 2025, Sun Siyam Resorts welcomed the celebrated freediver, instructor, and ocean advocate Psyche Cheng — known to many as Mermaid Psyche — for a special engagement at both Siyam World and Sun Siyam Olhuveli.

Aligning with this year’s global theme, “Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us,” the event featured a meaningful programme that celebrated the beauty of the ocean while drawing attention to its vulnerability. During her visit, Mermaid Psyche captivated audiences with inspiring talks where she shared her personal connection to the sea, her journey as a professional freediver, and her passion for marine conservation.

 

Blending science, mindfulness, and storytelling, Psyche’s sessions struck a deep chord with attendees. Her visit continued underwater as she joined the Sun Diving teams on guided dives, exploring the Maldives’ breathtaking marine ecosystems and reinforcing her mission to raise awareness through hands-on collaboration.

“Hosting Mermaid Psyche for this year’s World Oceans Day was a proud moment for all of us,” said Koen Zuurbier, General Manager of Sun Diving. “Her presence brought elegance, insight, and passion to our efforts in ocean conservation. At Sun Diving, we believe in the power of education and inspiration to protect our oceans — and this initiative beautifully embodied that philosophy.”

This two-island celebration is part of Sun Siyam Resorts’ long-standing commitment to sustainability and marine advocacy. Through initiatives like this, the brand aims to engage global travellers and internal teams alike, fostering a deeper understanding of the ocean’s importance.
