Tomorrow is my last day working for Kasai Village, at least for this time around, I’m sure I will be back here for some great scuba diving in Moalboal again soon. Last night we went to Chili Bar to see if this weeks pool competition brought any people… well, the competition was canceled but I [...]

Order up!
Sunday, May 31, 2009
After starting to mentally compose the letter of complaint to EMS, the company who was supposed to deliver my parcel containing all of the exciting parts of the new underwater camera setup, and specially send a virtual boot to whoever is in charge of updating the non-functioning web-status, I was getting really impatient. I’ve never [...]

Before I left the UK I went online and ordered a bunch of UW photo books with full intention of reading them all and also bringing them on this ‘trip’ (I still haven’t figured out what to call this thing I’m doing!). Well, I also had a whole bunch of other stuff to do, such [...]
Size matters

A while back Tata showed us some pygmy seahorses over by Coption Point, very cool indeed, but since then the little buggers have disappeared… much to the chagrin of our boss who wants all the action easily accessible to show our guests. Obviously.
Anyway, people have previously been able to see the seahorses on our house [...]
Sardine tornado!

There’s several million sardines in a big ball playing charades with the divers around Pescador Island; one of the main diving attractions in the area. Apparently we’ve been able to see this phenomenon for a long time here but for some reason I’ve missed out on the show until a few weeks ago and now [...]
Long time no type!

Dear internet, I’m very sorry I haven’t updated this thing for a while… or if I should swallow my pride a bit, Annika & Pelle, here’s an update just for you and the rest of the family!
My friend Damian has been over for a few weeks, and all the time I haven’t spent diving or [...]
Ninja diving
Sunday, March 8, 2009
I went night-diving last night, it’s something I particularly like but for some reason (lazy? too comfortable?) I haven’t been doing it much at all here. Yet! It was really cool, usually it’s only some of the guests that want to do it, so it’s pretty much always very small groups. Which is exactly what [...]
Cold again
Friday, March 6, 2009
The important guests have arrived and left again; over a weeks of intense preparations, two days of stressed out diving and being on our best behavior… phew!
And as usual I was too lazy to make the extra effort and use my new freediving wetsuit instead of my old scuba wetsuit so I got a bit [...]
Underwater camera!?
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
I recently whinged about my camera not working properly due to me being an idiot and dropping it on the floor. It basically will not focus on anything closer than one meter from the lens. Underwater photography without a proper external flash is pretty much all about macro, up close and personal, and if my [...]

Ten years ago I spent six months in Honduras, working as a Divemaster, on an island called Utila which is part of the Bay Islands, part of the worlds second largest barrier reef. Awesome diving. Anyway, during my visit there was already another Divemaster called Andy so I was named Swedish Andy, on the big [...]
