Okinawa Japan. »
I made it! It was a long journey but I made it. After spending a couple of days in Athens sight seeing, it was an early morning flight (6am) to Frankfurt, then 5 hours in the airport before flying 11 hours to Osaka, Japan. From Osaka, I had to catch the shuttle bus to get to another airport for the connecting flight which was another hour [...]

Liquorice nose clip, yes indeed »
We might be getting a bit of narcosis here, with all these below 100 dives. But wait, no, cause we have done that yet. We, by the way, being Kerian the golden pup, and Daan, the spaghetti safety. Kerian of course is quite capable of doing 100, he just hasn't yet, and Daan, well, he's quite capable of writing that Kerian can do 100 -provided he [...]
Thats right, I said it! »
OK, so most of you know that I am sponsored by Blueseventy. Its not like I have been keeping it a secret or anything. What you may not know though is that I have been working with them to build a wetsuit that is specifically for freediving.

Denmark -> Greece (Athens) -> Kalamata »
I am now firmly entrenched in Kalamata, Greece ready for the first week of training. The journy here was long and boring.

Tales from the road »

Airports, securety, passport control, locals, MRT's, cold, heat, babies, preists, over weight bags and coincidences, its a crazy world out there. I am getting ahead of myself, so lets get back to the beginning. My [...]
Last days of work »
Today was an interesting day, last day of working for Orcon. first day of being free to actually follow my dream (for a short time) and be a freediving bum, travelling, staying with like minded people, simply diving my ass off! Its a strange thing to walk out the door of a company that you helped create, nurture, lose sleep, enjoy the success, [...]

So, here I am, in the back wash of the south pacific, in Little Ole New Zealand, dreaming of warmer climates. Been out spearing a little over, what some would call "Summer", but I would pass as a mild winter, the water temp has now dropped from a balmy 17 deg C, to a heart warming 13 deg C and one of my European friends says "I love the [...]
