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 [...]

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 [...]
We’re about to perform a diver rescue training exercise in a little while, I’m supposed to be the beefcake and collect all equipment that will be dumped once the diver is being brought up and taken back to shore. The exercise is for our current Divemaster student, Louise! The problem with rescue exercises is other [...]
It’s raining here, a lot… And it has been raining on and off for about a month now. The last two weeks almost all the time. And there’s also strong wind. You all know what happens if you mix those two old friends; misery. I really can’t remember anything about misery when I read up [...]
The party of the year, New Years eve celebration, is there a party with higher expectations? How about a stomach bug that scatters your stomach’s content everywhere, that should set the festive spirit in motion, right? So I celebrated NYE on the great white porcelain throne, nice one. The whole thing started by a gentle [...]
