Depending on what year the car was registered, a license plate in Vancouver could either read “Beautiful British Columbia” or “The Best Place On Earth!”.
Not a humble claim to be sure, but not necessarily a false one either.
British Columbia, Canada is objectively beautiful and with all the mountains, lakes, rivers, temperate rainforests and glacial cut seascapes in any direction you turn, it certainly is better than your average place on earth.
Diving in Sardinia, where the Sea meets the Italian culture
Sardinia is a Italian Island in the Mediterranean Sea with an area of 24,000 square km and over 2,400 km of coast that alternate rocky and jagged stretch, beaches, quiet coves and cliff. Sardinia is famous around the world for the luxury villas and resort in Costa Smeralda.
Only about 20 kilometres off the coast of Playa Del Carmen lays Cozumel Islands, the largest of the Mexican Islands.
Mexican Islands are rather small, even Cozumel despite being the largest it is only approximately 45 kilometres long and about 16 kilometres wide. You can go around the whole island in a short time. Not by foot of course. The best would be to rent a scooter and explore.
The gulf of Thailand boarders Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. Once called the gulf of Siam it is now one of the most popular destinations for back-packers and divers. Exquisite food, cheap accommodation and easy diving conditions definitely makes it a top destination.
The island that describes itself as "the last outpost of diving civilization" and where the ocean bed drops off to the dizzying depth of some 600m. An island that names its dive sites Turtle Patch, Barracuda Point and White-Tip Avenue - and they really do live up to their names.
A couple of days ago I had a thought... I actually realized that in the last 16 years ( time flies tooooo fast after your 20th birthday, it’s a fact!), I spent almost one third of my life breathing underwater : I mean, with the Scuba gear of course...I haven’t developed any gill yet! But still... most of my memories, nowadays, are related to the underwater World!
If you like warm water, amazing beaches and thousand of fishes all around visit the wonderful Maldives Atolls.
The Maldives lies in two chain of 26 atolls in the Indian Ocean, there are 1,190 coral Islands (more than 200 inhibited). The climate is a tropical-monsoon with warm temperature all year around and there are two different season, the dry season from December to April the monsoon blows from north-est, the wet season from may to November the wind comes from south-west.
Sharks, stingrays, barracudas, nudibranches, seahorse, dolphins, turtles, whales, gorgonias, annemonies, cleaning shrimps, moray eels, jacks… they are my colleagues, friends and business partners, mostly. In a normal year I spend more hours with them as for example on a subway.
When people starts their dive education, they still don’t know, that soon they gonna be underwater even in the dark nights, while others are already preparing the dinner or going out to bars... I have to tell you, that even with years of working in the dive industry, there is still something exciting to everyone, including instructors and dive guides.
