The Miss Scuba International pageant started in 2011, founded by businessman Robert Lo . He is the owner of the Sipadan Mabul Resort (SMART) and Mabul Water Bungalows.
Lo is also a strong believer in sustainable development within the realms of our marine environment, hoping that by sharing the beauty and wonders of the underwater world with the help of beauty queens, it will help people understand how fragile our oceans are and how they can help protect it.
