Together with our Partner OLYMPUS and Lion Filmproduction we have been traveling to Okinawa, Japan, where we realized an advertising film for the Okinawa Tourist Board OCVB as well as product images and an advertorial trailer for the leading airline of Japan - All Nippon Airways.

Huge. Unexplored. Really mystical. At the furthest southerly point of Japan we explored the Yonaguni monument. A structure crafted by man-made? Or just a freak of nature? Or had aliens a hand in building this example in architecture? Nobody knows.

Be honest - by thinking about diving nobody noticed Japan. So far. Together with OLYMPUS, OCVB and ANA we explored just a small part of the tropical south of Japan. We lived the Japanese culture, tried ourselves in karate fighting, enjoyed delicious food and at least dived in the most crystal clear waters ever.

The most important thing during underwater photo- or videography is - light! With our new partner SeaLife and their Sea Dragon 4500 we will never run out of light during our video productions. These powerful lamps have 4500 lumen LED lights, 120° wide beam angle and auto bright and auto flash detect mode.

A warm welcome in the northern part of Sulawesi, more precisely in the northwest of the island Bangka. There we visited the Sea Souls Dive Resort. Family atmosphere and individual, cordially service compared with an absolutely intact underwater world. Bangka, center of the coral triangle, seems to be the source of all critters and quirky microorganism.

No diving, no underwater photography without the legendary BOOT show in Düsseldorf, Germany. Beside meeting all our friends and partners from all over the world we were very proud that our video production „MEXICAN MERMAID“ had its successful premiere on the big stage. A new feeling - standing in front of a camera and not behind.
