Candrawati Gogo

Affectionately known as Aisyah, she was born and raised in Alor Besar — a village she proudly represents every time she enters the water. As Alor’s first-ever female divemaster, Aisyah is not only breaking barriers, but paving the way for a new generation of ocean protectors.

The only child of a hardworking fisherman, Aisyah grew up surrounded by stories of the sea. While she once dreamed of joining the police or military, her path shifted when she discovered her passion for conservation. That calling led her to Nautika Dive Alor, where she began as a divemaster trainee and quickly stood out for her dedication, curiosity, and strength.

A recipient of a scholarship from Bio Rock Indonesia, Aisyah is now an inspiring conservationist — someone who not only dives with purpose but also speaks up for the environment and her community. She believes that Alor’s greatest wealth lies in its nature, and that sustainable tourism is key to securing a brighter future for her island.

Beyond her role in the water, Aisyah brings a quiet confidence to everything she does. She loves martial arts, food adventures, and has a bold spirit tucked behind her calm presence. A former Girl Scout, she embodies leadership, kindness, and courage.

Aisyah’s journey is a reminder that protecting the ocean also means empowering the people who call it home — especially young women who, like her, are ready to rise.
