Weekly Random Shot: Holland under water

Aug 172011

People regularly ask me if there is anything to see under water in the Netherlands. When scuba-diving comes up in a discussion in my home country it is rarely understood that bad visibility doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see. On the contrary, below the waterline the world is teeming with life and I think this photo shows that perfectly. So, if you’re willing to battle the often poor viz you’ll be in for a surprise!

El Hierro for Duikmagazine

Jul 012010

Report on scuba-diving El Hierro, the smallest and most western of the Canary Islands. Until the 15th century people thought this place was the end of the world so the meridian even went through it.

Nowadays it’s an amazing and peaceful island untouched by the claws of mass-tourism. A perfect place for diving and an incredible place to view topside nature. It holds rainforests, pine forests, endless lava fields, rocky cliffs and some nice and small harbours. A perfect place to be honest, no wonder it’s a Unesco Biosphere Reserve!

Vanuit het heldere water zwemmen we een tunnel in. Een mysterieus licht schittert ons tegemoet. We komen terecht in water omgeven door rotswanden. Langzaam stijgen we op. Eenmaal boven voelen we de zonnestralen in ons gezicht. Ze vallen door een spleet in het plafond van de grot naar binnen. Dit is puur genieten.

Ver weg? Welnee! We zitten in Turkije en om precies te zijn aan de groene zuidwestkust. Een weekje duiken en relaxen aan boord van de Emma Rosa, een echte Turkse gulet. Het schip maakt wekelijks duikcruises langs de baaien rond Fethiye. Een week lang duiken en relaxen, niet alleen voor ervaren duikers, maar juist ook voor mensen die voor het eerst kennis willen maken met de wereld onder de waterspiegel.

Port Ghalib resort & diving in Duikmagazine #2.

Interior, Publications, Scuba, Travel No Responses »

Apr 182008

It is starting out to be a bit of a Port Ghalib fest on this website as (see here and here), again, there is another publication on this brand new resorttown. This time a massive 8-page checkout in the Dutch diving magazine Duikmagazine. The article is about the resort as well as the fantastic diving with the guys from Emperor Divers who run a very nice operation over there. Surely one of the best spots in Egypt that easily accesible as Port Ghalib is about ten minutes away from the Marsa Alam airport. Resort quality? Let’s just say that it’s the only place in Egypt where I’ve found it to be safe to eat the salads and fruits in the hotels.

Again, a full PDF is downloadable here.

What is an article on scuba-diving doing in a Ski Magazine? Well, that’s gotta be the summer-edition full of climbing, biking and this time some diving too. It’s in Dutch, sorry for those who can’t read it. The openingspread was taken at the Port Ghalib Resort near Marsa Alam. See this post for more under water images from this area.
