MY ROAD FROM BOAT CREW TO DIVE PROFESSIONAL

With Indo Aura, I am on a mission to spread positive vibes into our guests' experience. What makes us unique is that you will get a personal touch. This is a real story

I first found out about diving and the underwater world.

Starting working at a dive centre as a boat crew, I couldn't wait to start the adventure of going below the surface.

While working as a dive guide on the Gili islands, I met my wife Gina from Holland.

She first fell in love with Indonesia’s ocean, and not much later also with me.

We moved to my home Island Flores, when Flores was still quite undiscovered.


Now, since a few years, not only diving Komodo National Park has become part of many bucket lists. People from all over the world are awaiting to explore overland tours and enjoying the wellness & culture that we have to offer.


With the most beautiful sunset views, we are satisfied to live with our small family here in Flores. But the legs of a seamen gets restless when not kicking, and so, I started to cruise again. I am able and honored to guide you in and around Komodo, Maumere, Alor, Saumlaki, Banda, Ambon, Triton Bay, Raja Ampat, Halmahera, Bitung, Kaimana and more.


Operating in tourism, i have worked with people from all different backgrounds.

The dive community knows me as ‘ Stefan Afro’ or Stefan Eagle eye.

With over 10.000 dives, I know how to prioritise safety, while making your experience joyful and the best.


Born in a rice village, i am a proudly 100% local. With my Western wife next to me going through life, i do speak the western language. I love to educate travel friends about history, culture, ocean species and the natural wonders our Archipelago has to offer.
