The Water Keeper is always watching and even watching very close. He witnesses all the beautiy hidden to the Surface Walkers. He's educating them so they care about their planet and eventually save their own life.

Brigitte Lenoir from Switzerland is attempting to be the deepest woman in the world.
Next stop 225 meters/738 feet underwater.

14 May 2010 : Brigitte didn't come back from a 200m training dive.
Dive was fine and the team reached the planned target of 200 meters/656 feet underwater, but a technical problem during the ascent to the surface brutally interrupted her dive.
Toutes nos pensées vont à toi et ta famille. Adieu Brigitte.

The Water Keeper

Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers are fragile eco-systems, their preservation is essential to the survival of the human race through the understanding of all other forms of life we can find on our planet. Let me introduce you to the Water keeper, conscious of the situation, whom by his wisdom and faith in the human race, will give his life for the preservation of our underwater environment for the higher good.

Thanks to Olivier for making the words :-)

The recipe:
- take a child
- a lot of salt water at the right temperature
- some tropical fishes (clown fish preferred, aka Nemo)
- a suitable diving equipment

The result:
a perfect little scuba diver amazed to breathe under water and that will show all his friends the wonders of aquatic life :-)

Ice diving doesn't mean deep diving.
Divers stay close to the surface, that is close to the ice to watch the show.

Keep It Clean

We went ice diving in the Alps in Switzerland. Yeah, I mean scuba diving under ice. As we where opening a hole to reach the water, one of our team mates slipped and fell into the water with his shovel. Did you know that ice is very slippery? He went out of the hole without any scratch and this is what we saw when we looked for the shovel underwater.

When cruising in our submerged and iced world we eventually cross some windows and gates to the upper world. They have sun, blue sky and fresh air. Should be also nice to live there.
