ABOUT
About Mano Collective
Founded in 2019 by ocean advocate and educator Olivia Miller (@livfortheocean), Manō Collective began as a trusted platform for shark and marine conservation education. Through years of research and hands-on outreach, Olivia has inspired countless individuals to better understand and protect our oceans. Today, she continues this mission daily, sharing knowledge and passion with visitors through her work at @hawaiianadventureskona.
In 2024, Manō Collective grew into a dedicated small-group expedition platform, co-led by Olivia and Andrew Aggargaard. Together, they design and guide journeys to some of the world’s most extraordinary marine environments—offering participants the chance to responsibly encounter wildlife and explore remote regions.
Every expedition is built on three pillars: safety, respect, and quality. Olivia and Andrew carefully partner with only the most reputable ecotourism operators, ensuring each experience supports local communities and protects fragile ecosystems.
Whether scuba diving or freediving, participants are immersed in meaningful, conservation-forward travel—designed to deepen their connection to the ocean and leave a positive impact.
