This Friday afternoon we are heading to Düsseldorf, Germany to attend the biggest dive show worldwide : the BOOT. This show runs for 9 entire days and tomorrow will be the last week-end. It’s not only a dive show but a show which covers everything related to water. Are you looking for a hook or a luxury yacht? You’ll find it here! May it be above, on or below the surface all activities and sports are covered. I’ll be back soon with the latest news.
BTW : Luxembourg is covered in snow and it keeps snowing. What a wonderful ride it will be Germany !

The 1st of March will be the big day! 3 weeks diving in the Philipines around Cebu and Bohol. I’m keen on getting there to dive with good friends 
I’m checking which airline is best and cheapest at that period. Not an easy task!
This picture was taken last year on one of the drift dives around Balicasag, close to Bohol. Only good memories

It’s time for the new year and here comes the January wallpaper for 2010.I took this shot in Manado in August. I love the sun beams. What amazes me is the harmony and beauty of the stinging hydroid glaophenia cupressina. These plant-like animals are closely related to jellyfish. So keep to the golden rule while underwater : look only with your eyes, take only pictures and leave only bubbles.

Ichthyologist Richard Pyle is a fish nerd. In his quest to discover and document new species of fish, he has also become a trailblazing exploratory diver and a pioneer of database technology.
Why you should listen to him:
A pioneer of the dive world, Richard Pyle discovers new biodiversity on the cliffs of coral reefs. He was among the first to use rebreather technology to explore depths between 200 and 500 feet, an area often called the “Twilight Zone.” During his dives, he has identified and documented hundreds of new species. Author of scientific, technical and popular articles, his expeditions have also been featured in the IMAX film Coral Reef Adventure, the BBC series Pacific Abyss and many more. In 2005, he received the NOGI Award, the most prestigious distinction of the diving world.

I can finally take a moment and thank all those of you who had the possibility to join Steven Weinberg and myself last Thursday for the opening of my underwater photo exhibition and Steven’s release of his latest book “Eau de Vie”.
Steven, Chris and me
The shop looks great with all these images and I think it makes all diver want to plunge into the water!
Splash Shop (IQ-The company corner)
One big project was to put a huge panarama on the wall of the shop (3,25m x .60m). This is a panaramic view of the nice little village of Lultzhausen. The Youthhostel in Lultzhausen contains one of the shop’s compressors which makes the filling of tanks easy for every diver! It is also the base for most of our dive courses! This panorama will remain in the shop all times!

Good news for all those of you who couldn’t attempt last Thursday are that the photo exhibition will last until January 25! This gives you lots of time to pass at Splash shop and scroll around!
For those of you still looking for Christmas presents it will give you some ideas too :
We hope to see you in the near future! Just be aware that the shop will closed from Dec 25 to January 5!
A big kiss goes to Rachel Paris who took the the pictures during the event!
