Hey, I’m Ucok, but some call me the “Mermaid Man” – and it’s official, I’m certified! 🌊 As a freediver, I feel most alive exploring the depths of the ocean, discovering underwater wonders, and pushing my limits. But my adventures aren’t just underwater – I’m also a mountain hiker and a classic Vespa rider. I’ve ridden my Vespa across Indonesia, embracing every twist, turn, and adventure on the road.

Photography and videography are my creative outlets; I love capturing the raw beauty of nature and people I meet along the way. I believe every trip has a story to tell, and I aim to share mine through my lens.
