Expensive hobbies, I know how to choose them. I spent a long time on photography, and I could do that again while diving. Although it was quite an adjustment in terms of equipment and technique. My first camera was a GoPro. It went deep enough and was the best choice in terms of price/quality. Later, I switched to a camera where you can adjust more settings. When we go diving, my buddy usually navigates, and I take photos. It’s not easy because you have to try to create as little silt as possible and keep floating. Especially with coral, you have to keep floating because you can’t touch it. It’s a challenge to combine all that, but also a pleasure to share the photos with the group afterwards.

Recently, I’ve been diving more and sailing less. Diving and sailing are both water activities, but they don’t go well together. For diving, you prefer no wind and calm seas, while for sailing, you need wind. The tranquility and the underwater world of diving have captivated me, offering a different kind of adventure and discovery.

As an instructor, I’ve also completed training to teach various specialties, which can be found on my website under the section “My Training.”
