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 [...]
We’re between guests right now at Kasai, and the next guests arriving are some quite important travel agents so we need to get everything spic and span before they get here. One of the projects is to paint the floor in the dive equipment area, where all the guests get kitted out before a dive [...]
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 [...]
