Right this moment I’m curled up in some kind of rattan hammock which is hanging in a little hut by the edge of the sea. I am struggling a little bit getting my legs comfortable but it’s a struggle I’m slowly winning so that’s ok. I’m typing this entry, together with all other online activities [...]
Yesterday we went out to catch the beginning of the late high tide in the late afternoon. Actual high tide was around 7, which is a bit late since it’s already dark, but we managed to catch a few waves. I didn’t do too well, guess I could say I stood up for a second [...]
My friend Ben is here visiting for a few weeks and we’re currently on this small island in the very eastern Philippines called Siargao. It’s main activity is surfing and it’s now super low season with small waves suitable for beginners, which we definitely are. The journey out here couldn’t really have been much easier; [...]
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 [...]
Sadly I don’t really have any changes to talk about… I still haven’t received my underwater housing! I’ve been given a very helpful link with a tracking number that shows the progress of the package, which I’m checking shamefully often. Well, too bad it’s not updating! The last thing that was recorded was the package [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m in Cebu City on a seminar today, my boss asked me to attend this thing to assess a hotel front desk reservation software. Not that I know that much about the hotel business as such but I do have some pretty good knowledge about computer software in general and have already seen roughly what [...]
