We actively manage Sumbawa's only Ocean Art Residency.

Welcome to the path less traveled.

Think beyond a beach holiday, collecting scientific data or merely observing ocean aesthetic.

Imagin® Your own Immersive Installation via diving practices hosted by skin dive experts who focus on safety, physical, mental and spiritual endurance available for the earliest beginners to seasoned professionals.

Sumbawa serves as a outer living laboratory where high-level marine science, environmental urgency, and untouched aesthetics converge.

A place where whale sharks, volcanic driven bubble reefs and rare species of fish coexist and unlike Bali, or any neighboring islands the marine life remains almost entirely distinct.

Today 85% of Indonesia's reefs face threats from unsustainable practices, your footage becomes an interactive "historical record" of a fragile and ever changing ecosystem.

Whale Sharks are the tip of the iceberg as today's Sumbawan oceans hold an ever increasing range of endemic and deeply threatened species.

Recording rare, prehistoric existence and reliving the experience in post VR brings once unseen ocean landscape to a global audience allowing an artist to highlight forgotten species that aren't as famous as whale sharks, manta rays or dolphins generally found abundantly throughout Sumbawa’s archipelago but are equally as vital.

Join us in participating in research-based art and environmental advocacy.
