About us
Who we are and how Alor Tanapi all started.
Who we are
Alor Tanapi was created by two dive professionals passionate about marine life, the island of Alor, and its people. After working in dive resorts and on liveaboards travelling around Bali, Lombok, Komodo, Alor, Ambon, Banda, Sulawesi and Raja Ampat, we both felt a strong connection to this part of Indonesia. Although both of us have origins in North Sulawesi, we felt there was something special about this island and the people living here, in addition to the impressive underwater life. So after much consideration and several years of planning and building, we created Alor Tanapi Dive Resort, and now finally can call Alor “home”.
Our vision and mission
Through our professional and personal experiences, we have learned and seen how we, humans, impact our environment. We know none of us is without fault, and we understand the many challenges of living in a human world, but we believe that every bit counts, and therefore we ask you to join us in doing your part too when
We do not claim to have done or to do everything perfectly ourselves, but we do try to improve every day, and with your help, we believe we can continue to do better.
Through Alor Tanapi, we hope to be able to share our knowledge of what we have learned over the years with locals and foreigners alike, and that we can help build a more sustainable future for the generations to come so that they may continue to enjoy the magnificent gem that is Alor.
