I started diving at the age of 12, in Bali as it was a short hop from where I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia. A passion for the water and Marine life has always been a part of me and diving was the best way to experience and bring both loves of mine together. I have travelled extensively in South East Asia and have dived wherever and whenever it was possible. After finishing High School I achieved my PADI Divemaster qualification and upon completing University decided to pursue diving as a career.
My photography initially started off being only a hobby and over the years developed into an obsession. As with all photographers I have spoken to so far, there is always something to fix and change on the pictures I take and I’m always looking to improve. Upon meeting Steve Warren and Mark Koekomoer of Ocean Optics, based in the UK, I was able to fill in any gaps in my knowledge and really push my photography to the next level. Mark and Steve are the culprits behind putting together the INON Compact Camera course, of which I am one of the first overseas instructors.
I have been based in Dahab for the past three years, working at Black Rock Dive Centre as a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
