Csilla Ari, Ph.D.,  founder

it all started with one dive

Csilla was born in Hungary, Budapest, a land locked country. During her childhood she visited neighbouring countries with her family and fell in love with scuba diving and marine animals at very early age. She was only 13 years old when she decided to dedicate her life to study and protect giant manta rays.
