Rianne

One of the most magical Scuba Diving places I’ve ever visited is hands down the Tufi Resort in Papua New Guinea. It’s only about an hour flight away from the capital, Port Moresby.

The most luxurious and comfortable liveaboard you can find in Papua New Guinea is without a doubt the MV Oceania.

Walindi is the MV Oceania’s home base (great base to start your scuba trip from or extend your scuba holiday).  Diving in Papua New Guinea is incredibly diverse and colourful. One of the very frequently seen creatures is the pink skunk anemone fish. Mike Workman, trip director on the MV Oceania, took a beautiful picture…

Rabaul-Kokopo Puzzle

Rianne

One morning in Port Moresby (capital of Papua New Guinea), I met Gavin Cathcart – owner of Rabaul-Kokopo-Dive. When he told me that every morning his dive shop got visited by 200/300 spinner dolphins…. I couldn’t believe it! I knew I had to see that for myself. And I did…..! Enjoy making this puzzle. It’s a picture that I took myself whilst in the water with them. Oh and once you’re finished (but only once you’re finished…) check out the video too!

Scuba / Ocean Cookie Cutters

Rianne

A while ago I bought a bunch of ocean / scuba themed cookie cutters. The idea was to use them to make cookies with my niece Esmee. But as right now that isn’t possible. I’m writing this as Corona has taken over the world.    Instead I decided to bake an apple pie at home and decorate the top with my manta ray cutter and other ocean animals. So if you’re like me, stuck at home and enjoy baking, check out some of these cute scuba cookie cutters below. Edit…

I learned scuba diving in Jamaica

Rianne

Learning the theory from a hammock So when you take your first course, usually the Open Water course, there’s quite a bit you need to study! Many people  choose to already do the…
