Israfil Bachtiar

Affectionately known as Egy, he’s the kind of person who can make a whole room laugh without trying. Born in the peaceful village of Moru, Egy spent a significant part of his life in Lombok before returning to Alor — the place that always felt like home.

Egy is all heart and humor. His quick wit, playful banter, and contagious laugh bring lightness to even the longest days. But behind the jokes is someone deeply dedicated to his craft. As a muck diving spotter, Egy has an exceptional eye for the tiny, hidden creatures that make Alor’s waters so special.

He takes pride in creating unforgettable dive experiences for guests — not just through what he finds, but in how he makes people feel. Egy’s calm presence and positive energy make every dive not just fun, but memorable.

He also holds a deep respect for the ocean. Growing up in a fishing family, he understands its importance not only for nature, but for survival. Egy is passionate about restoring what’s been damaged and protecting what’s left — urging others to adopt sustainable habits and care for the sea we all depend on.

A joyful spirit with a purpose, Egy reminds us that protecting the ocean can be meaningful and fun — especially when you’re laughing along the way.
