Diving the S/S Yongala
The S/S Yongala is a wreck that lies off the coast near Townsville, North Queensland.
She is in about 30m of water and it is about 15m deep at her top deck. This is a must see dive, rumour says it’s one of the top 5 dive spots in the world!
The fish life is amazing, everything is big and I mean big Read the rest of this entry »
Australia – February 2000
======== 2000-02-09 ========
Hey Blokes!
I can’t understand how time just can disappear, like it has for me. I mean do YOU realise that it is February? I can tell you that for me it feels like I just celebrated New Year in Sydney!
I have been home for little more than a month now and did not get any job as a presumed before, but I don’t think that it will effect my future studies at all. (more than I have to start exercising little more).
I have had a lot of time to figure out what I want to do with my life, and I found some collages in Canada that really interested me but they are not within the area of marine biology at all. They are called Mountain Activity Skills Training program and Adventure Tourism program. Read the rest of this entry »
Australia – January 2000
January 2000!! **Millenium Change**
7-6-5-4-3-2-1 – 2000!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR was everybody screaming when the whole city of Sydney went on fire and especially the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House! The half an hour fireworks were so stunning so when we talk about them afterwards we couldn’t find words to describe them. After more discussion about the firework we came and think of the word WOW!!!
I had an American behind me where I was and took the midnight photos and he and his girlfriend was just screaming and screaming, saying words like wooooiiii!! And yelled out: Screw New York!! This is the place, this is the place to be, and we are just in the middle of it!!! He gave me some really good Champagne and shook my hand and wished me a Happy New Year!
The three Police officers that stood on the Jetty with us Read the rest of this entry »
Australia – October & November 1999
October – Wow!!!!
As I have written before, this semester has been fabulous!!!
Everything that I ever wished for has come true!!! I can’t believe it’s true myself, I have to pinch myself in my arm – Ahh – guess it’s not a dream after all. Now you all wonder what has happened. Ever since I was a little boy I dreamt about play among the “big guys” in the national hockey team. And now I have got a chance to do exactly that, even if the country is not Sweden, it is still a honour of such gratitude to represent Australia that I can’t explain it. Read the rest of this entry »

Australia – March 1999
Hello again, long time ago since I wrote last time, and a lot have happened.. Martin has arrived and we have bought a bunch of things, like a corner sofa, fridge with a little freezer on top, Coca-Cola, Nutella, and some other crap food…
We bought the schoolbooks and that ended at AU $440 (2200 SEK). We have only four subjects and I thought it was like a robbery this price for four books. I have also developed my film from when I was on Billabong Sanctuary and there are a lot of cool pictures.. Read the rest of this entry »
Cold Water Diving
Diving in cold water for us who lives up in the Northern Hemisphere is more or less an everyday occurrence. Even during our short summer months the water temperature is in the low 20′s (Celsius) and if a bad summer dominates we’re lucky if we get 17-18 degrees. Read the rest of this entry »
My Diving Background
It all started in 1993….
When I grew up my parents did not have so much money, we had money to food and rent and stuff so we were not poor, but they had not enough for expensive hobbies like diving.
I have always had big dreams, and in some strange reasons I have manage to fulfil my dreams or most of them any way. Read the rest of this entry »
