Sipadan Island – 10.11.1997: A Journey Etched in Time

 

Sipadan Island, 10th November 1997—this date will forever be etched in our hearts. It was the day our paths crossed, marking the beginning of a remarkable 28-year journey. Together, we built a life filled with adventure, love, and an unwavering passion for the ocean. Along the way we got married founded our own dive company, ABC Divers, and eventually established Through The Lens, a photographic tribute to life and nature—from A to Z.
 

ABC Divers: More Than Just Bubbles

​

​With the motto "More Than Just Bubbles," ABC Divers was born out of our deep passion for the ocean. For 15 incredible years, we ran our dive center on Koh Samui, Thailand, integrating marine awareness programs and underwater photography into our core activities. The weekly cocktail evenings became a cherished tradition, where we showcased our underwater photography to hotel guests. Our work extended beyond the dive center, with articles and images from our travels being featured in leading dive and travel magazines such as Scubaglobe, Inspire and others.  We explored some of the world’s most interesting dive sites, from Raja Ampat and Sulawesi in Southeast Asia to Egypt and the Maldives, capturing the magic of marine biodiversity along the way.

A New Chapter: From Ocean Depths to Rainforest Canopies

​

​In 2019, our passion for nature led us to Africa, a journey that strengthened the deep connection we have to the natural world. This exploration soon brought us to the rainforests of Borneo, where we became involved with 1StopBorneoWildlife, an NGO dedicated to conservation through sustainable tourism. Their 4E Model—Education, Enrichment of the Environment, Enforcement, and Economy—deeply resonated with us.

As active members of the team, we now take part in wildlife exploration, educational programs for school children, reforestation initiatives, giving talks on marine life, as well as contributing text and photos for publications in the hope that future generations can appreciate and protect the wonders of nature.

Through The Lens: A Tribute to Nature​

​

​Through The Lens is the culmination of our journey—an endeavor that celebrates both the ocean’s and land’s amazing diversity and scenery. With our photography and storytelling, we hope to share the incredible beauty we have witnessed, fostering a deeper appreciation for the biodiversity that makes this planet extraordinary.

​

Because in the end, Earth is not ours alone—we are merely its caretakers.
