December 2023. I've just returned from a four-month trip to Fiji, Polynesia, Australia and Indonesia... After three years without traveling, three summers spent diving in Brittany near my home, I took a long leave of absence to go bubbling in seas warmer than the English Channel...
Before, I used to travel to dive. Today, the climate emergency encourages me to reduce my air travel. No more warm exotic seas?
It's hard to make diving travel plans with the Covid-19 pandemic. In the world before the coronavirus, I used to go diving in the Philippines or Indonesia... In the world after, I dive in Brittany in green and cold waters.
In 2003, I dived on the Amoco Cadiz wreck in Brittany, France. At the time Facebook did not exist... My story had only been published in print, on the back page of the newspaper Ouest-France.
