2011-03 Indonesia Raja Ampat Dive Safari

At first time I arranged a presentation of extraordinary uw-pictures in a slide show. These pictures were shot by my son. Some pictures seemed to be drawn and not shot by a camera. The Soundtrack was produced and arranged by the Tunguska Electronic Music Society. They made friendly and amazing chillout music. These pictures were recorded in the wider area of Raja Ampat while the Tsunami last year in Pacific area occured. Pygmi sea horses and some nudibranches are difficult to get.

2012-01 Egypt/Marsa Alam Coraya Beach Seagrass ghost pipefish

After 23 years of diving I encountered the Seagrass ghost pipefish at the Coraya Beach which is close to Port Ghalib. It was phantastic to discover such an extraordinary animal which was max. 2 cm long and looking like a grass halm.

2011-12 Egypt/Elphinstone Reef Longimanus

Fellows, three days before I visited the Elphinstone reef/Egypt. I was very glad to encounter a 2,5m Oceanic/Longimanus. Leaving the reef in South direction from the South part in a depth of approx. 10m we have been waiting 5 minutes…then the predator appeared. It was like many times before a majestic feeling to meet this predator. My next visitation to Elphinstone is scheduled for 31th December 2011.

2011-08 Encyclopedia first clips/Blue shark photos Azores

Fellows, some of you asked me WHEN I will publish the clips there…I want to tell you that this project is a 100 per cent privately driven one so that I work on this issue IF I have time. At the moment I am very busy, so that the proceeding of this project must wait a little bit. I guess, that I will have at least 10 clips ready at the end of March 2012.

My son abDul returned from his second trip to the Azores…he shot wonderful photos of blue sharks and mobulas. Dia-show will be published later on.

2011-08 Shark attacks Seychelles/Indian Ocean

Within the last three weeks two shark attacks happened against human beings with dead ends in the Seychelles. This saddens me. I symphatize with both concerned famillies of the victims.

On the other side we must accept that we are entering the living room of animals if we go in the sea. That sounds simple but it is a fact. Furthermore mankind kills millions of sharks (and other animals) every year.

As a conclusion from my point of view it is a philosophical debate which type of species is more valuable. But we all (animals and human beings) are living on this planet….

2011-06 my son abDul

I am very proud of my son abDul.

He contributed pictures and text in the following book which is available from 08/01/2011. The book is written in German language.

Unter Wasser: 24 Tauchplätze, die jeder Taucher gesehen haben muss

(Under water: 24 dive-spots which everybody must have been seen)

2011 Plagiarism

In the light of plagiarism we are faced now especially in Germany I want to ascertain that the shown video material on this blog was filmed and arranged by myself or my son. The music is contributed by artists which are mentioned in every clip. The clips (exceptions: the Imagefilms) are produced only for non profit purposes.

My son and I respect property rights everytime. We disclaim every form of plagiarism.

2010-09 Myriads of swarm fishes Seychelles/Mahe

A dream within a dream like E.A. Poe wrote. Myriads of swarm fishes were producing a vibrant atmosphere. It is a longer clip to abduct you to the variety and prettiness of the underwater world. Please, take your time and relax…. The music was again composed and produced by Serakina.

2010-09 Eagle rays Seychelles/Mahe

You will see some short clips with formations of eagle rays or single ones although it was ‘snowing’ under the water. Especially the last clip is very nice with the patterned eagle ray.
