About Us

Mariusz (Mario)

Mariusz is the founder and owner of Diving-Indo.  He trained as an ichthyologist and PADI diving instructor from 1998. Working within tourism and the diving industry since 1990 when he was president of the Academic Diving Club “Skorpena” at the ART in Olsztyn – his hometown. During his studies he organized water works, training camps and CMAS diving trips. The biggest challenge was a trip by car to Egypt with 1995 year. 8000km, dozens of borders, bribes, good dives and freedom of choice meant that he could not find in the “office”. But 2002 he knuckled down to the corporate life until an impulse visit to Sipidan, Malaysia. From this moment as he says, life began anew for him: working on the ship safari in Egypt and Sudan, Croatia, a year in the Maldives in one of the most expensive hotels, and finally Bali. It was planned as a 2-3 week vacation from which he never returned. Over the years as a manager leading dive centers on the islands of Ambon and Banda in Maluku archipelago, where he was involved in photography, film and finding new dive sites. He visited almost all famous and interesting dive sites in Indonesia.
In early 2006, he opened a dive center in Bali. His passion is surfing and that is why more often you can find him on the wave rather than under it. According to his wife Eunice surfing Mariusz absorbs about 250 days off a year 🙂 and adds with a smile with an additional 50 days to tennis.

He is fluent in Russian, English Indonesian. Number of dives difficult to determine – over 6000
