The Chase for Light

By Foued Kaddachi. October 1982, Mr Lambs, my History-Geography teacher, is standing in front of the Black board with the word “Photography” written on in. I’m thirteen years old and it’s my first lesson of the “Photographer’s Club” at the Molière High school of Colmar in Alsace, France. He asked: “what does this word mean?”

Sailing off the Map: The Epic Trip from Komodo to the Spice Islands

By Tommy Schultz ‘Thar she blows!’ The old mariner’s cry that until now I used in jest, lowering my voice to a piratical rasp, channeling a cartoonish Ahab or Long John Silver. This time was no joke. I’m in a sea kayak in the open Savu Sea, paddling frantically as Peter and I try to

Komodo Snorkeling Trip

By Alex del Olmo. This October I was leading a two weeks snorkeling trip all around Komodo and including a quick visit to Sumbawa. As many of our trips are dive trips or mixed trips (snorkeling-diving), this pure snorkeling trip was a new experience: I loved it. As a consequence of being a passionate uw

Cruising East Nusa Tenggara, between Sumbawa and Alor

By Alex del Olmo. Our combination trips to the East of Flores, Sumbawa and Komodo never cease me to amaze me. During our recent trip (Maumere-Komodo), we sailed almost 550 miles (around 1.000 km) heading first to the East until Alor, then back to the West until Komodo, with a detour around Sumbawa. Mark started

Combination Cruises East of Flores, Komodo and Sumbawa

By Alex del Olmo. If you are into underwater photography or videography (or maybe both) and you are thinking of joining on a liveaboard, how does it sound if I tell you that in Komodo National Park you will have the chance to film or shoot some of the best reefs in the world, see

Big John to the Rescue!

By Rod Salm Manta Alley revisited. The large black pregnant manta we saw in May was gone or had pupped. Certainly, we saw smaller mantas while snorkeling than we had in May and none that was pregnant. But it was very different for the divers who watched and waited as between 12 and 14 mantas

“WHAAALES!!”

By Karen Iizuka. Photos by Katherine Wells, Eva Pet and Alex del Olmo. We all looked to where Pete was pointing and sure enough, there were some dorsal fins and flippers at the surface. We ditched our breakfast and rushed out to the deck to get a closer look. There were about 8 Risso’s dolphins
