My great memories :
. The children happyness, my sun first, discovering helmet diving amoung school of fishes !
. The shark feeding I offered, for 6 over years outside Boulari Pass; an opportunity to learn a lot about sharks, with an interesting and impressive approach
. A Night dive with a very big turtle, for RTL PLUS (German TV) for the animation of a Tv game.
. The very professional and kind attitude of national French & German TV staff interested in working with us.
. My diving cruise with Reiner (73 years old, from Germany) 4 dives per day with so many manta rays and silver point sharks. Reiner loved them so much and had a such diving experience through the world !
. Meeting with a so big white shark in Boulari passage... twice for se same dive ! I m p r e s s i v e... and it was so... q u i e t
. A very good and professional relationship with the Club Med' "GO" & "GMs" for over 6 years
. All the very good friends I have got through Noumea Diving... Thanks to them ! I don't forget you...

My regrets :
. The very bad atmosphere of the diving business in NC
. The inefficiency of the country to develop the tourism for these last... 40 years.
. The amazing administrative complications to run a competitive business in NC
. All the great projects I had and that I couldn't realized in regard of the above... |
