Tomorrow Hanko

Hi everybody!
Tomorrow, Maria, Laura, myself and the rest of the gang are heading to Hanko.
I will be taking part in my AOWD-course final dives. Hopefully everything goes like it should. :)
Tommi should be there as well and a new third guy, hmmm.... Maria, Laura and Rami are coming for moral support and to blow some bubbles... :)
I´ll try to find the time to tell about my dives next week.

Good night!

Asikkala 24/7 2011

Wau, what a day. We left home @9:15 and arrived in Lahti ABC-fuelstation around 10:45. We waited for the rest of the group to arrive, after everybody had arrived and eaten we set off for our journey toward Asikkala.

Strait of it was Tommi and me who were up for the first dive, and it was the most exciting, our first deep dive (it was only to 21m but it was GREAT!) We did some math (part of the course!), and after that we started to ascent to 5m for a 3 min deco stop.

The second dive was a wreak dive, the is a old mining machinery down there. We studied it, made a drawing with the bearing and the measurements.

The third dive was a treasure hunt, rumor has that there should a car(s) buried there. Nope, no car(s) found. It´s  a myth.

A BIG thank´s to all for making this a great weekend and specially today!

Yesterday

BBN FINLAND

When I on a dive and start to feel hungry, my favorite choice is Protein Block from BBN Finland 90g of dark chocolate with 49,7 g of protein. After a dive the best way to relax is with a Protein Shake that taste like strawberry, of course BBN Finland

Visit http://www.bbnfinland.fi/ or http://www.best-body-nutrition.com/

Hey, my favorite Protein Shake has been awarded a gold star...

Gainomax is for monkeys... :)

Diving - since May 2011

Like in every webpage tutorial or help they suggest start with "Hello World" or "This is my first webpage". Well this is my first attempt to write a blogg.

The main idea of the this blogg is to post pictures of our dive trips and share some ideas with the rest of the world, that is is anybody reads this. :)

I`ve started with a new hobbie, diving. I went on a Padi OWD course in April 2011, I past and now I`ve been diving since May of this year. The pic below is me, Hello!

(This picture was taken by my wife Maria, who also stared diving this year. The next pic is of Maria)

Next on the agenda is to take part in Padi´s AOWD course. I´ve done the written part, now is just about the dive.
