LOVE LIFE… BLOW BUBBLES…

I am just a diver. I travel and work on safari boats, organising liveaboard trips. I love being under water. Meeting marine life, making new friends, still learning to make better pictures and movies. And what I share here? My diving adventures, pictures and movies that I made, maps of dive sites that I designed and I try to teach some of the stuff that I have learned over the years. Hugs, Anke
