Diving the World
So far I did scuba diving in
45 countries* all over the world. Some of them just in Europe, others
as far away as Papua New Guinea, the Galapagos Islands or Rapa Nui.
But it does not matter how far away it is. It's all about what you are
going to see. Some of this spots have been about large fish, others
about the macro stuff.
Sometimes it has even been the same spot twice, but there is always
something new to discover.
While I have done the cold lakes in Austria in the first years,
mostly because of budget restrictions, I prefer the warmer water
while getting older.
Never the less, I still a volunteer as a rescue diver in the
German DLRG water rescue service.
