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 [...]
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 [...]
Life is now slowly settling back into normality, the girls have left, my mother left this morning, the current two guests leave in a few days and then it’ll be empty here for 18 days. Eighteen. Empty. Today is scary hot and right now there’s a bunch of boys training karate on our lawn, the [...]
… and so has Carro & Linn, my two workmates here at Kasai. So it’s a sad day here, and as soon as they left it started raining, a sign perhaps?! We’ve worked together since the beginning of this year and I first met them in November so we haven’t really known each other that [...]
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 [...]
Linn’s family is here visiting and the other day Linn, her dad and me went canyoning with Planet Action! Linn and Carro went on the same trip a few months ago and this time it was my turn to come along. It was awesome! Standing above a fall and trying to look down and failing [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
They’re building a jetty in Kasai, it will be something like 150 meters long in total when it’s completed, 120 meters fixed and 30 meters floating. Suffice it to say it’s a massive build. It’s now come to a temporary stand-still since there’s no more low tide until the end of March. To cast the [...]
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 [...]
