In the Philippines, Tubbataha Natural Park is only open for three months in the year. It is an underwater jewel, with exuberant coral and abundant underwater life.
In the Philippines, it is THE mythical encounter that every diver dreams of : the whale shark, the largest fish in the world.
In video, here is a striking encounter, of which I have a very vivid memory... A very close, intense and unexpected face-to-face with an oceanic white-tip shark in the Egyptian waters of the Red Sea.
Fancy the big blue ? Let's get in the water ! I take you to the Red Sea for scuba diving, freediving and underwater photography....
In Komodo, you can' t miss the majestic manta rays. They can be seen either by scuba diving or by snorkelling from the surface. A glorious show!
This is the first thing I notice when I step on the deck of the boat. A mermaid's tail, lying there, between two diving bags.
The drones are the new gadget fashionable travelers ... On the boat that takes me to Komodo, Indonesia, two of my little dive friends have one!
A drone over Raja Ampat, it gives stunning images! Small video south of Misool Island, among the cliffs that plunge into the turquoise water ...
In Raja Ampat, we do not only find coral under water. There is also scrap of the Second World War. Fallen from the sky!
Here, there are swarms of sparkling fish and a jumble of multicoloured corals... I take you diving in the waters of Misool, in the south of Raja Ampat.
In the dream boat category, here is one on which I would see myself embarking one day: the mythical Aranui, to go to the Marquesas Islands, in Polynesia!
High up! I take you back to Raja Ampat, on the most beautiful cruising-diving boats, all sails out. The Waow, there is no need to say, it is aptly named ...
Wake up at the foot of a volcano and live the dream of Magellan ... what's more exhilarating? Welcome to the archipelago of Banda, the mythical spice islands, in Indonesia.
From the Maluku Islands to Raja Ampat, I experienced a fabulous adventure in Indonesia, aboard a beautiful ship like a pirate princess ship: the Waow.
I'm missing. Light and tropical heat, islands and salt water, bubbles and coral ... I already have the nostalgia of the Maldives.
I'm getting tons of emails asking me for information about Raja Ampat ! So I gathered everything in one single post. But be aware, a trip to Raja Ampat requires you to behave as a respectful and responsible visitor. Tourism, which is booming in the region, is endangering one of the world's most magnificent reservoirs of biodiversity.
Papua, Papua in Indonesian. Jungles and beaches, exuberant coral and giant fish. Another world ... which amazed me. Welcome to Raja Ampat!
In Komodo, Indonesia, the dive site with the beautiful name of Castle Rock is infested with sharks. I just love it. I even made a video.
The dragons exist, I met them! Scales, claws, forked tongue, everything is there ... Listening only to my courage, I went to photograph these big prehistoric lizards or "varans" that live in the archipelago of Komodo, Indonesia.
Indonesia and Komodo are far away. I rediscover my underwater photos with a new, astonished eye. I saw all that, me? It's crazy.
Diving in Komodo, I dreamed! The reality was beyond the dream ... First video preview, at the fabulous Batu Bolong site.
That's the Pascha. Well named boat, on which I lived like a princess, during the six days of my dive cruise in Komodo, in July 2011. Six fantastic days out of time.
I had to show you this video, of a manta ray and his girlfriends, met while diving in the archipelago of Komodo, ultimate goal of my crossing of Flores ...
Hop! At the water ! We go back under the surface. On the program: a small cruise to the Similan Islands, with Richelieu Rock, Koh ...
No camera, no pictures under water ... Back on my troubles with my photographic Canon Powershot A95, Thailand ....
It was during this beautiful cruise-dive at Similan. Our meeting with a turtle at the East of Eden site. Instant ...
That's it, I advance a little in the sorting of photos ... I just put on line my underwater images ...
I have just returned from this four-day dive cruise to the Similan Islands. I will not have time, ...
