Hansen Oei

Hansen grew up as the third of four siblings in a family where responsibility came early. Much of who he is today was shaped by his mother — a hardworking businesswoman who taught him about integrity, independence, and doing things with heart.

Though he spent most of his childhood in Jakarta, Hansen went on to study at the International College of Management in Sydney. His time abroad gave him a broader perspective, but it was a quiet longing for nature, purpose, and a slower life that eventually led him to Alor.

Ironically, Hansen used to be afraid of the sea. That changed the first time he went diving. What started as curiosity became something much deeper — a connection that turned into a mission. Building Nautika Dive Alor was never just about diving; it was about creating a place where people, nature, and purpose could come together.

Outside of work, Hansen finds calm in gardening, comfort in gaming, and inspiration in his wandering thoughts. He’s often dreaming about new projects — or just dreaming about cold weather. Somewhere quiet, somewhere peaceful. But always with meaning.

For Hansen, conservation starts with people. He believes that when communities are empowered and cared for — especially in places like Alor — nature stands a much better chance. His work is rooted in empathy, sustainability, and the belief that kindness is a form of leadership.
