How to flood a GoPro

And we still believe this homemade flatport for Hero2 is better than many other ports on the market.

Deep relations

Anna used to be a mermaid. So, albeit she is very happy to explore a shipwreck on scuba in the murky waters of Stockholm, she holds some suspicion towards diving and divers. Our divesite: Wasini Island, Kenya

Bálint's description of his first dive inspired me to take my first course. Since then, we learned as much from our dives together as from our instructors. Our divesite: Opel Kadett wreck, Ujca, Croatia

Enrico really knows how to enjoy a dive on the tropics. He never misses one safety stop. Our divesite: Canyon, Watamu, Kenya

Fidel really knows how to enjoy a dive on the tropics. He never keeps one safety stop. Our divesite: Empesnic I. wreck, San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua

Béla used to be a soldier. Now he is planning to buy a nut plantation. Our divesite: Krkspitz, Croatia

Erika is a mystery: she is like my twin sister underwater, but we can't really talk about anything on the surface. Our divesite: Zdralove, Croatia

Réka makes me hypnotised. With extremely relaxed dives, with Cuban rum, or just with her eyes. Our divesite: Frozen Palatinus Lake, Dorog, Hungary

I could never understand how anyone can advertise with the sentence "diving is fun" who has never even had a dive with Eni yet. Our divesite: Privic, Croatia

Tibi was my only buddy who enjoyed waiting two hours for a picture motionless in the chilling water in the middle of the night more than me. Our divesite: Ujca Bay at night, Croatia

With Zoli we don't meet a lot. But when we do we find ourselves climbing a mountain in a winterstorm, whitewater rafting at the equator or freediving in a thermal cave under our hometown. Our divesite: Molnár János Cave, Budapest, Hungary

Gergő is the guy who needs a hammer, a pot of boiling water and a Leukoplast reel to shoot never-before-seen macro footages in sidemount gear in a narrow cave. Our divesite: Vruljak I. Cave, Trebinje, Bosnia Herzegovina

The Wrecks of Stockholm

There are not too many capitals in the world where you can have a wreckdive in the city centre. Local divers in Stockholm say they have more wrecks in their waters than ships on the surface - and according to estimates every seventh citizen has a yacht or a boat. The most famous of all Stockholm wrecks is of course Vasa. The Swedish warship turned over and sank on her maiden voyage after sailing less than a mile in 1628. It was salvaged in 1961 and now can be admired in a museum. But the majority of Stockholm's wrecks are still under the waters of the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren.

    Filip (as archeologists named him) died trying to turn the ship into the wind so that she could right herself. (He was around 30 but two of his front milk teeth remained in his lower jaw.)

    The superstructure of Tore had seen shinier days.
