You couldn't be in safter hands. "Uncle Ken" is a vetran of Komodo Liveaboards and has nearly thirty years experience in the Industry, diving all over Indonesia and spending most of his career between Bali, Komodo and Raja Ampat, locations with serious diving conditions.

​

"Uncle" Ken is a pioneer of diving in Raja Ampat, coming here decades ago on the liveaboards from Komodo, he started teaching the locals how to dive, and was the first instructor in the region, teaching many of the early guides how to dive. Known locally, fondly, as "uncle". Uncle Ken is a legend in the Raja Ampat story.

​

In one of my many interesting conversations with Ken I recall him telling me about the time he was diving in "crystal bay  - Nusa Penida" and he saw a fin go past him, then a few moments later another fin went past him. He was puzzled but continued the dive with his group, he then found a lady, on her own, clinging to the reef in strong current with no fins, she was also getting low on air, he calmed her down, and safely brought her up to five meters, did a safety stop with her then returned to his group to continue the dive. He was dissapointed that he never got to meet the lady as her boat had left by the time he had finished his dive.

I also recall Ken telling me about the time he used him SMB to get him out of a down current !!! This is the guy I want with me when I am doing a challenging dive, he's also the kind of guy you want to be teaching you when you do your Open Water or Advanced Course.
