Creating this National Costume was personal. As National Director, Befalia didn’t just design a costume. She poured her heart, her heritage, and her love for Indonesia’s oceans into every detail. Inspired by the Coral Triangle of Indonesia, this piece represents the heartbeat of our sea, the biodiversity we are fighting for, and the story @beningfa will carry onto the international stage. A queen wearing a masterpiece made by a queen before her. From Indonesia, for the world. 🇮🇩🌊✨ @nusantara.atelier.id From Indonesia, for the world. 🇮🇩🌊✨

Because we believe in quality over quantity, and protecting our team’s health is non-negotiable. We do this ethically, always 🌿 To everyone waiting patiently: THANK YOU. Our team is recovering and production is moving slowly, but your order is being made with care, not speed. 🌊 Thank you for trusting Sea Diva by DiveArts Academy. Thank you for supporting small, local, ethical craftsmanship from Bali. The mermaid magic is real — and it’s coming your way soon 💫 #SeaDivaTails

“Ocean’s Whisper” Live Act during @miss_scuba_international Talent Performance by Miss Scuba Indonesia 2024, drg Befalia Aisarahmadani Performing art is my passion, and as a professional dancer and professional underwater performer, i was trying my best to bring this powerful storytelling through dance, act, sing on the stage and the video i edited myself of me freediving in our beautiful country, Indonesia, as a mermaid in a mermaid costume i made myself (it’s 2.5kg heavy) so that all these skills that i pour into this artwork is not just to fulfil my heart, but also create impact, especially for the ocean. I created the storyline, and also the tail itself, with my design from @seadivatails , i used this tail before for Mermaid costume competition in Thailand in 2023 and also won 1st runner up with scars feature around it. The story is about a mermaid in the vibrant underwater world of Indonesia, dancing joyfully in Indonesia’s vibrant marine world, showcasing its breathtaking beauty. The dance suddenly shifts when I become ensnared in a fishing net, representing the entrapment of marine life by human activities. Through graceful yet struggling movements, I fight to escape, eventually breaking free, only to encounter the harsh reality of plastic pollution, nearly consuming it. As a speeding boat propeller injures me, symbolizing the violence inflicted upon ocean creatures, my mermaid form is left wounded and scarred. In a powerful transformation, I turn into a human, stepping onto land to deliver a vital message. With a final, heartfelt dance and the lyrics of *Colors of the Wind*, I call upon humanity to respect and protect our interconnected natural world. This performance serves as a compelling reminder of the urgent need for marine conservation. My performance is far from perfect, but im proud of how far i’ve become, Top 5 was not easy but i made this far. Thank you to all friends and family who supports ❤️🇮🇩

Holding a Title is a Responsibility. Actions Speak Louder Than Words As I stand proudly as Miss Ocean World Indonesia 2024, I reflect on my incredible journey, a journey filled with challenges, growth, and achievements that have shaped me into who I am today. This title is not just a symbol of beauty; it is a reminder of the responsibility I bear to advocate for our oceans and inspire others to do the same. My experiences have taught me that true leadership is demonstrated through actions, not just words. I am proud of my achievements, but even more so, I am grateful for the lessons learned along the way. Every step of this journey has reinforced my dedication to empowering others and nurturing our beautiful planet 🤍

This was my high school prom dress, which I had already modified by sewing the sequins myself back then. Now, look at how I’ve transformed it into an ocean-inspired dress! I painted it and sewed it, making this the best dress I’ve created so far. The top represents the vibrant coral and underwater life, with detailed paintings of fish, while the bottom flows like the waves of the ocean. It’s not top designer-made, but I’m proud of it🫶🏻🇮🇩 I’m going to wear this as my evening ball gown for Miss Ocean World. Support me as I proudly represent Indonesia 🇮🇩 and showcase the beauty of Indonesia underwater world!
