My connection with the ocean started early. When I was fifteen, I earned my first diving certification, but even before that I was already fascinated by life underwater. As a kid, I could spend hours watching fish, snorkeling whenever I could, completely drawn to what was happening beneath the surface.

One of the first moments that truly stayed with me happened in Mexico, when I came face to face with a huge moray eel. But everything changed when I later dived with sharks for the first time. Being in open water and seeing a four-meter tiger shark swim past you is impossible to fully describe. It shifts how you see the ocean, and yourself within it.

Like many people, I once believed sharks and other large marine animals were dangerous by nature. Over time, I learned how big that misconception is. When diving is done calmly, with the right approach and experienced professionals, these encounters are not about fear, but about respect. That realization changed the way I look at diving and at the animals we share the water with.

Hi, my name is Iris. Growing up in a small beach town in the Netherlands, I could spend hours along the shoreline: watching hermit crabs, enjoying sunsets, following the waves, and letting my curiosity run free. The sea felt endless then, and it still does.

In 2018, I started scuba diving, and since then my sense of adventure has only grown. I have dived across many different oceans and seas, chasing currents, discovering local cultures, and always admiring the beauty of the underwater world, excited to see what we might encounter on the next dive. Every place has taught me something: about marine life, about myself, and about the joy of exploring beyond what is familiar.

Through Velura, I turn my love for the ocean into a shared adventure. These expeditions are for people who crave adventure, connection, and experiences that stay with you. Exploring new places together, sharing early mornings on the boat, and returning to the surface with stories you will never forget. If you are ready to explore, I would love to take you along.
