From easy tropical diving to escaping a tropical cyclone - it's all here!

River diving in crystal clear waters in the Verzasca valley and St. Anna. It's cold as heck, but so worth it! And the game fondue is almost worth travelling here for all by itself!

If a lake exists for only three to four months due to melting snow, you better dive it whilst it's there! Cold yes, but oh so much fun! :-)

One of the reasons we started diving, was that we would love to one day go and dive in the Arctic or even Antarctic regions of the planet. That pretty much makes ice diving experience a necessity, if not at least a pretty sensible course to take and build experience upon. Said and done, we signed up and headed south in January.

Schwarze Brücke ("Black Bridge"), or Schwarze Wand ("Black Wall") is a well-known, famous (or notorious) dive site in Attersee in Austria, dropping to a depth of more than 100 meters.

We went diving with Trimaxx-Kas (run by German born Thomas Wicht), and found the operation of the dive boat and the boat (Anemon) itself to be very good. Anemom has room for approx. 30 divers, a large sun deck and a selection of tea, coffee and cold drinks are available for purchase. The rental equipment is in very good order in case you need it and the dive trips are very relaxed and unhurried.

Fethiye is one of Turkey's well-known tourist centres and is especially popular during the summer. Modern Fethiye is located on the site of the ancient city of Telmessos, the ruins of which can be seen in the city, e.g. the Hellenistic theatre by the main quay. We heard the diving was good, so we went underwater instead.
