Italy, France - September 2011: Truly - I was amazed what Mediterranean has to offer. Long time I have been diving in tropics around the world and did not return to Mediterranean until 2008. In September I travelled back to Italy/France boarders to dive deeper dive sites around Menton as well as wreck of Haven. Thank to Luca and Manuela Coltri - www.pianetablu.com I had absolutely fantastic experience, which I never believed can happen in Mediterranean. Rich purple and yellow gorgonians, plenty of fish, morey eels and small animals. Wreck of Haven is simply out of this world!

Sharm, Egypt - July 2011: Old good Sharm! I really enjoyed beeing back to Sharm in summer time and realizing that the diving here is still what it used to be. I also ejoyed shooting in clear water with my new Nikon D7000. Again lots of fish schooling around Ras Mohammed, fabulous corals and much more. I hope this place will resist the pressure it is facing and stays so lovely.

Nuweiba, Egypt - July 2011: With African Divers Nuweiba we had wonderful 4 days of shore diving in very relaxed place. Diving in Nuweiba is different from other typical egyptian destinations. Lots of interesting small creatures, some of the best soft corals I have seen, the most beautiful salad coral with thousand of anthias and baslets and no divers around!!! Special thank belongs to Daniel and Sara - www.africandiversnuweiba.com for their assistance. They are both great guides with eccelent knowledge of local marine life.

South Africa - February 2011: South Africa is one of my favourite destinations. Untouched reefs, lots of colors and regular big animal encounters. Sodwana Bay is fabulous place for diving, but regular storms around Madagascar bring rough seas, bad visibility and make photography very challenging. It was no exceptions in February when 3 meter waves caused underwater sand storm. The water movement was swirling sand all over the shallow reefs as well as on the deepest reefs. Finally we got lucky and met a whale shark baitball. One of the most exciting experience I have had underwater. Thanks for this!

Beauties of Iceland: During my second trip to Iceland we were lucky to have 6 days of sunshine and 22 hours of daylight. Plenty of time to visit volcanic cracks as well as interesting dive spots in the fjords. Water clearity in the cracks is simply out of this world. Water from melting glaciers gets filtered trough lava layers and comes out in the cracks. Nothing but pure purity. Some make vodka from it, some dive in it. Earthquakes, active volcanos, boiling underwater geysirs - things associated with volcanic activity are happening here concentrated at very small area. This makes Iceland experience absolutely unique.

Cocos Island, Costa Rica - August 2010: More than one year we were waiting to get to the Island of Sharks. The crossing took 32 hours one way and cut 3 days off the trip. Nevertheless it was worth it! This wild sharks sanctuary is beeing constantly targeted by longline fisherman. However, thank to guys from Marviva and National Park patrol who try to keep fisherman as far from Coco as they can, the place is still paradise for sharks. We saw loads of hammerheads, white tips, couple of whale sharks and even pair of frogfish. Cocos Island is one of a very few places left, where the nature is very close to what it has been for thousands of years. Please, help to protect Cocos Island - donate on http://www.marviva.net .

Iceland - March 2010: On assignemt for german Unterwasser magazine we travelled to Iceland to experience some real winter diving. And so it was - cold. Temperatures around freezing point, overcast, wind, snow and rain were the attributes of this trip. However, underwater beauty amazed me. Unique structures and never ending visibility. Iceland is a natural wonder above surface as well as under it.

Sardine Run, Aliwal Shoal, South Africa - June 2009: 3 weeks trip started with observing of anual sardine migration along the Transkei coast. Sardines arrived late this season. Furthermore from the beginning we were dealing with bad visibility. However, we had nice time with observing whales, thousands of dolphins and birds patiently waiting for the day when sards come... Sardine Run really is about waiting for that one day!
