Another day without diving !

The sixth day without diving, Gamede got the sea really rough ....

Our boat is still in Port Louis harbor, waiting to come back home .

I tried to be useful today cleaning up the car of our center and being the chauffeur for some small courses !

We have to be patient for another one or two days - at least I 'll try -

Some pictures ...

Welcome

28 February 2007

Welcome to my Blog.

This is all new for me , so please forgive me if there is any struggle !

My Blog is created to bring some news from this little paradise island to you ... It has been 6 months now since I arrived in Mauritius, I kind of feel a little more local then I did when I arrived .

I try to improve the local creole , which I understand quiet well , but anytime I want to say something in creole it makes people smile or even my colleagues have a big laugh !! So I stick to some French or English !! ( which is not perfect , but better then creole )

I'm working for the Blue Water Diving Center in Trou aux Biches - the Nord- as a CMAS ** instructor .I really like my work , the dives over here are amazing and I meet a lot of passionate divers from all over the world! About two weeks ago I even got the chance to participate to the " CMAS National Championship of Underwater Photography " with my favorite photographer and good friend Gérald Rambert. Gérald even got his blog if you are curious enough ( http://blog.geraldrambert.com/ ) Well , we made it to the first place and are going to participate at the International Championship in May , which will be in Mauritius !

Cross all your fingers , toes and all you can cross to wish us luck ... Four days ago we had a cyclone alert , Gamede ( the cyclone ) has been very close to our cost, giving us lots of rain, wind and cut down the electricity . But also good times with friends playing cards and dinner at candle light.Thanks again Nina and Jocky for spending such a good time together ! We even went out to the seaside to face the cyclone and look at the huge waves ...
