Grand Blue Project
Enhancing the Dive Experience Through Interactive Ocean Exploration
We’re proud to partner with the Grand Blue Project — a dynamic new platform designed to educate, inspire, and connect divers, marine enthusiasts, and conservationists through immersive underwater exploration.
Founded by Edi Frommenwiler, who launched Indonesia’s first liveaboard in 1992 (MV Pindito), the Grand Blue Project currently features over 5,500 high-resolution marine life videos and more than 1,500 species native to Indonesia. All content is carefully curated with marine biologists to support learning, appreciation, and conservation of our oceans.

Safeguarding one of the most
bio-diverse places in the world
Established in 2016, we are a diverse team of biologists, divers and coral enthusiasts that drive to make change by restoring Indonesia’s degraded reef areas. By relying on our founder’s 25 years of coral farming experience, we have achieved great success rates in our coral restoration sites.
We actively partner with local communities, hotels, resorts and dive shops to setup and deploy coral nurseries using our protocols. From these nurseries, we harvest donor coral to restore the surrounding reefs.
Collectively with our partners, we have planted over 1 million corals. We offer tours for the public to learn about coral restoration and courses for people wanting more hands-on experience and stay to volunteer.
