Dec. 26th 2012, Kailua-Kona One of the most amazing dives of my life. Years ago divers discovered during nightdives, that mantas feed on the plancton that is attracted by the light of their flashlights. Also the mantas are not at all scared by the divers. Over the years these nightdives have developed into one of the top attractions on the Kailua-Kona Coast. From the manta's perspective they have educated divers to bring divelights to attract plancton... I don't think they are interested in us. We just carry the lights... Just when we entered the water, the mantas were already there and in full swing. They were attracted by the lights of the snorkelers, who were in the water before us... Watch these 3m-5m big fish turning loopings below the snorkelers! Now some more videos showing you ... read more

Waimea Canyon is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. Just like a huge valley, a crack in a mountain, a fractured and scarred valley. Just an amazing sight. Kalalau Lookout is another one of these incredibly beautiful places on Kauai. Just beautiful. I will not write too many words about it. Just look at the pictures and you will understand me.... read more

I had a wonderful week of holiday in Nusa Lembongan. The reason to get there was a friend I had got to know during shark diving at Fiji in 2011. Evy is on Nusa Lembongan, working as a dive instructor. So it was easy to get diving there. And with a wonderful divebuddy, someone I completely trust and a great crew. What else do you need? I spend nearly a week on Lembongan and Evy and I had also quite some nice trips above the water, driving around on Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Cenningan and Nusa Penida... The diving was wonderful. Most of the sites are on the north coast of Nusa Penida. It was wonderful diving, some drift dives in stronger currents. I enjoyed it and I got back to my friends on my way back, ... read more
