Nous pourrions discuter autour d’un verre et vous allez découvrir le déroulement de cette compétition,en compagnie de tous les sponsors.
Today again we had a dive in Samarangersee. The sun was with us which gave us the opportunity to play with the sunbeams….a never ending story…
In the sunniest part of the lake the white algae carpet seems to be even thicker. It makes you think of some melted material which had glided over the trees …ages ago
In some parts, green dots lighten up the monotone whitish colour.
Wherever you raise your head you see the trees surrounding the lake bathing in bright sunlight.
We kept to the fairy tale idea and decided to spent the afternoon in Neuschwanstein castle which is only one hour drive away. We ended up in a real tourist industry village. actually there are up to 6000 visitors daily who want to visit king Ludwig II’s retreat.
Disney’s Sleeping beauty must be awake for a long time since… 
Note : all pics are unprocessed.Well it’s holiday time and I’m lazy
we just had our last dive here at Fernsteinsee. We went back to Samarangersee to get more picture with nice sunbeams.
Pics will follow. For now it’s time to get some more Austrian food and beer
Today I was diving one of the most amazing spots I’ve ever seen! It was like diving in a fairy tale! The Samaranger See is known for its limitless visibilty. It is a small lake and divers are limited to 4 at one time together in the lake. On top of that you need to have at least 100 logged dives in your logbook to access the place. Ah yes, did I mention that you only have access if you stay at least 2 nights in the owner’s hotel?
All I can tell you is that it is worth all this!
When you enter the 8C water you quickly come to see tree trunks which have fallen into the lake. Everything is covered in a whitish thick algae carpet. Touching is strickly forbidden. Watch your buoyancy!!!
Well enough words, see by yourself…

Today we arrived in Austria at the Hotel Schloss Fernsteinsee and had our first 2 dives in the Fernsteinsee. The spot is known for its incredible visibility, which we could witness on our first dive in 10 C waters sunbursts … Continue reading
La deuxième journée était plus belle et nous a également permis de sortir l’appareil photo sur le bateau pour documenter le déroulement de la journée.
Nous étions 11 photographes avec leurs assistants, ce qui fait beaucoup de bordel!
The second day was nice and warm so we were able to take a few shots on the boat in order to document the life on the boat. We were 11 photographers with their assistants which makes a lot of stuff!
Les cartes mémoires nous sont données sur le bateau par l’organisation. D’ailleurs on n’a pas le droit de toucher a l’appareil sans leur présence.
The memory cards are handed over by the organisation team on the boat. They also check all handling of your cameras.
Voici les photos de la procédure

Beginning of March we spent to fantastic weeks diving in Nuweiba. This was carnival time too!
Have you never thought of celebrating Carnival underwater while diving???
Well we did and Sarah and Daniel from African Divers tried to get most of it on video while Chris shot the pics.
Here’s the result ! Enjoy and don’t forget to put up the sound

…what’s really cool on the dive site Myserique is this huge brain coral called Brian’s brain. It is called so for more than 20 years now. Usually these corals collapse under their weight but this one has resisted so far.
it is more than 7 m high.
Here a fish eye view from the top of it

Today I send you some sunny shots.
Enjoy!
Strong Northern winds raised this morning.
We went for two dives to Coral Garden and pipeline. Luckily there were no winds currents underwater.
The huge block on Coral garden used to have lots of glass fish. There are all gone by now but got replaced by colourful anthias.

Pipeline is a very cool place. It was a former desalination factory which is now one of the stunning ” wrecks” of Nuweiba. Large tubes go into the water. They are all overgrown with soft corals and lots of fish can be found here.
