In the newest number of Forum Mentum, on page 4 and 5, there is an article written by me, including 3 of my underwater pictures.

At the moment I can’t show you the article, but here are the pictures.

Cenote

Found this cool image of a Mexican cenote:

I would love to go diving there some day, or in any other cenote.

Flying shark

Found this nice photoshopped birdshark today.

I am quite happy it is not a real picture, but really nice photoshop work.

I would love to be this diver

Wow this is one amazing picture, I wish I was the diver on the picture.

That is one lucky diver.

Weird sea creatures

While browsing I found this website.

That sure is a collection of weird and ugly sea creatures.

They even say the Christmas Tree Worm is weird, I dont agree, I love the Christmas Tree Worm.

Here is 2 of them, I shot in June 2008, near St. John’s in the Red Sea.

Travel show in Copenhagen

In the weekend 24-25. of January there was a traveling show in Copenhagen, with a small diveshow part.

Unfortunately it was the same as in Düsseldorf, nothing new to see, but it was a good place to meet old students, old colleges, dive friends, and just to talk.

There was a big display of all sorts of different rebreathers from the very old to the brand new ones, like the Sentinel and the Poseidon Cis Lunar MK. VI.

I had the pleasure of seeing a presentation made by Mark Ellyat a famous deep diver, he had made some nice videos of his dive, to the Victoria, Yolanda and other wrecks. Also i saw the last 10 minutes of John Bantin’s presentation of lovely underwater pictures.

The pictures is a mixture of old friends, rebreathers and the presentations.

Back from the 3rd Red Sea Liveaboard

From the 10th of November till the 17th of November I had the pleasure of being on my 3rd Liveaboard in 2008

This time we did a Sinai Classic trip. From Sharm el Sheikh, we went to Ras Mohammed, crossed Abu Nuhas, to dive the Ghiannis D and Carnatic, then back again to Thistlegorm, and the trip ended in the Strait of Tiran.

Here you can see the 5 danes doing this trip together, and Hans from Germany (the 3 other germans had left for the airport already).

From the left we have Hans, Allan, Lise, myself, Rune and Arne.
From page 2, you can see the gps tracks I logged on the trip (nearly all the trip is logges). 1 day per page.

The page is google map heavy, so might take a few moments to load. On the next trip i’ll set the log speed to less than 1 log every 5 sec, that is way to much for a boat going at 15 km/h.

Back from the Red Sea

Yesterday I came home from yet another trip to the Red Sea.

I had the pleasure og being on a one week liveabord in the St. John’s are of southern Egypt.

After over 600 dives (not all logged) in the Red Sea I finally dived with a Manta Ray, and it did happen twice !

Picture of the Manta, and the rest of the trip will hopefully be put online soon.

Finally I dived with dolphins

While doing the last minute of the safety stop, on the last dive of my June 2008 live-aboard trip, it finally did happen.

I dived with dolphins, I have snorkeled with them 4-5 times, but never did i dive with them.

It was a huge experience, a dolphin mother and her baby did circle around us 3-4 times.

Thanks to Lis and Søren for lending me the pictures.
