Meet our Founder
Mohd Maroof
Maroof is the Founder and Expedition Leader, driven by curiosity and the pull of the unknown. An SSI Master Diver, Rescue Diver, and Emergency First Responder, he has logged 120+ hours underwater, leading ethical, science-focused encounters with some of the ocean’s most misunderstood apex predators. When not in the water, he works behind the scenes in highly analytical fields, bringing the same precision and situational awareness into expedition planning and risk management. Through his expeditions, Maroof aims to transform fear into a calm, flow-state experience, helping people connect deeply with the ocean and understand why its marine life is worth respecting and protecting.
His words
“The ocean has always been more than a fascination for me, it's a source of endless inspiration and a reminder of how intricately connected life is on this planet. From diving with sharks to exploring vibrant coral reefs, I’ve discovered not only the beauty of marine ecosystems but also their fragility. My passion lies in understanding and sharing the stories of the ocean, educating others about its vital role in our natural ecosystem, and inspiring a deeper respect for the life beneath the waves”
